Interactive Media - Simple and Effective

DDB Stockholm recently launched a campaign with Volkswagon to get people to change their lazy ways (and buy an environmentally friendly car in the process). The videos show how a little feedback can change the way people interact with everyday objects.

It doesn't look like the English site (thefuntheory.com) is live yet, but the Swedish site is and has a link to a contest where you can submit your own ideas for a chance to win 25,000 kronor (€2,430, $3,590). Seems like a fun project to take on.


Thanks to Victoria for sending me the initial video.

Real HMD?

Saw this linked on core77.com - it's almost too extreme to be believable. 'shopped?

In this astonishing photo, a model is wearing a new gadget, from electronics manufacturer Toshiba, that enables the wearer to experience a full 360-degree view on a 40 centimetre dome-shaped screen.


Story here.

This stuff was apparently generated by Pintar's VirtuaLab Mechanics, but the site doesn't seem to be letting me download the software at this moment.
