You can only see this ad for this Wii game called Wario Land on YouTube. Simple & good.

‘Polygon Playground‘ is an interactive video installation / lounge object, developed by the WHITEvoid.

The “Polygon Playground” is a large scale interactive lounge object. It offers room for up to 40 persons at a time to walk, sit and explore its multifaceted surfaces. Gradient ramps guide to the top plateau or offer space to sit and rest. The installation features a software aided 3D surface projection system to cover the object with a seamless 360 degree projection mapping. An additional sensory system detects peoples positions and proximity.

The visual appearance of the “Polygon Playground” changes continously with the presence, movements and touches of its visitors. The object detects the positions and directions of people and reacts with evolving visual moods and graphic styles.

If you like this, you’ll probably also want to see Pablo Valbuena’s work, without the interactive part though.

Explicit lyrics!

This video is full of sticky notes, it was made by the guys who started that Diet Coke & Mentos frenzy, Eepybird. Very colorfull!

I’ve been following the development of FLARToolKit for some time now and it’s getting more interesting day by day. What it is? FLARToolKit is a Flash Actionscript port of ARToolKit, a software library for building Augmented Reality applications. Huh? Maybe you’ve seen some really cool Augmented Reality videos before. The FLARToolKit will bring all of this to your webbrowser when you have a webcam and a recent Flash Player.
This is one of the most exciting Flash things I’ve seen for a while now. Saqoosha, a Japanese Flash developer, made this little demo: Desktop Fireworks. You will need a the Flash Player 9, a webcam and you’ll need to print out this marker. I’ve already did some tests together with Papervision3D and I can say we’ll probably see more of this soon. This is Flash at it’s best baby!

‘This One Goes Up to 11′ is a collection of 40 video works, selected by Summer Guthery, Hanne Mugaas, Lumi Tan, and Nicholas Weist. Together they have this online curatorial project Why + Wherefore. Vimeo hosts all 40 videos and here are a few that I liked.

‘As Nasty As They Want To Be’ by the 2 Live Crew was one of the first Hip Hop records I’ve ever heard. Yeah, we listened to it because it was dirty. Carla Edwards used the iconic cover to make this video called ‘Debauched Zeitgeist‘. I want to go to the beach now.
