BMW transformed the busy Suntec City Towers 2 & 3 in Singapore to a symbol of true Joy. The video plays with the 3D effects, which also includes a small tribute to the birthday boy Pacman, as well as classic BMW billboards. The buzzwords “Joy is BMW” and of course “EfficientDynamics” are present as well, one of BMW’s trademark signatures in the past year.

Virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. Interactive presentation technology is moving fast. It seems to me - that Germany is ahead of things – already at the edge of new technology with new companies popping up and doing amazingly creative work. So: another new innovative company from Frankfurt gets my total attention (and love) - NewMedia Yuppies (what a great company name! haha I wanna be your Yuppie!). They work with Frauenhofer Researchers and Instant reality. Well worth checking out these links!
But ok, I do love Germany and their innovative companies. Also: a New Zeeland company called MindSpace Solutions, have some innovative people and products as well. Check out this amazing AR binocular technology! It rocks my socks!
This weekend I watched “Minory Report” to see how the movie producers thought of new technology back in 2002. The movie is full of multi-touch, gestural input interaction, holograms etc. Technologies that today, seven years later, slowly is becoming a reality. Interesting to see: whatever we imagine, becomes reality.
Chief scientist for Oblong Industries, John Underkoffler, was one of the movie’s science and technology advisors to the film and based the design of those scenes directly on his earlier work at MIT. The G-Speak platform is already in use in a variety of Fortune 50 companies, government agencies and universities – Oblong Industries offer a SDK that runs on both Linux and Mac OS X. This blogpost inspired by: Accidental Thinking.
A patented technology by Gesturetek, optical recognition of gestures to control for ex. interactive displays at events. Without controls, just use your body and hands to access the multimedia content. Over 4000 installations made. I just love it.

There is Interactive and then there is interactive. URBANSCREEN from Bremen works with large-scale projections on urban surfaces. And they do an amazing amazing job. Check out their video archive if you like this Pinball (Pinwall) game projection… This video makes me just as happy as the players of the game. Lovely idea!
