Video: Virtually Driving With Leap Motion And Street View April 25, 2013 by Dave Haynes My enthusiasm for most gesture stuff is really limited, but the notable exception is with the Leap Motion technology that has now been with developers for several months and will shortly be available on the consumer market. People should be able to buy the little gesture-sensing sticks in late May (make that July), for $80, …

Video: Leap Motion Shows Interactive Digital Possibilities At SXSW March 14, 2013 by Dave Haynes The Leap Motion controller has, I think, a huge amount of potential for interactive experiences in retail and other settings because of the granularity of gesture recognition (it can track the end of a waving chopstick) and the the absence of any need to “learn” gestures. The opportunity for desktop gaming is very large, so …
Video/Pix: NYC’s Reinvent Payphone Finalists March 7, 2013 by Dave Haynes Tech blog The Verge has a good piece up this morning about finalist entries in a competition intended to reinvent payphones in New York City. It’s an initiative, reports the blog, that invites students, urban planners, and designers to propose their visions for the payphone of the future. The finalists were selected as winners in six …
Video Blog: Samsung’s New SoC Smart Signage March 7, 2013 by Dave Haynes My Signagelive friends, Jason Cremins and Raffi Vartian, have been talking up a storm with anyone who will listen about the merits and possibilities of Samsung’s SoC product, which was announced at ISE and then announced formally for the N. America market last week at DSE. It interests me as a product for a few …
Video Blog: Wandering The Sides And Back Of The DSE Floor March 6, 2013 by Dave Haynes It took a while, but here’s the second of three video posts we shot last week on the DSE show floor. The premise for this one is simple enough. People naturally gravitate to the big booths when they walk into trade shows. Being slightly nuts, and having been at this show many, many times, I …
Intel And Sapient Demo’d Nice Interactive Retail Piece At DSE (with Video) March 5, 2013 by Dave Haynes I have seen some stuff at Intel’s booth at past DSEs that I thought were interesting but didn’t have a prayer of ever getting outside a trade show booth environment. But as I squeezed and slipped my way through Intel’s glass corral last week I saw some stuff that I thought had legs. The one …
Video: Simple, Effective Sponsor Messaging March 2, 2013 by Dave Haynes One of the things we did at the DSE mixer earlier this week was run promo/branding videos for all the sponsors. It was, we thought, more effective than trying to SHOUT OVER THE CROWD to thank the sponsors verbally. Saw that at another cocktail party. Doesn’t work. People keep talking. We did one for ourselves, …
DSE2013 Video Blog: The Rise Of Android Boxes February 28, 2013 by Dave Haynes I have a face, and particularly a chin, that’s made for radio, but I nonetheless took a first real stab at video blogging with my good, hyper-talented friends from Studio 10 in cold, flat and happy Regina, Saskatchewan. They did some work with us last year and came back to LV for a couple of …
Behold, The 60-Foot SI Swimsuit Supermodel February 14, 2013 by Dave Haynes The marketers for Sports Illustrated made going to sleep just that harder for mobs of 17-year-old boys in Las Vegas after they used projection mapping to blast 60-foot tall (my guess) images of this year’s lean and bouncy swimsuit issue models on the facade of the Caesar’s Palace resort last night. SI worked with projection …
