I was pretty pleased with the results (a bit like the old ipod commercials)! You can find out how to do similar things on the very excellent videocopilot website

Anyway you can view my profile here, if you join up please add me as a contact so we can share the excitement! Here some of the goodies I’ve found recently:

An array of emergency beacon lights interacts with visitors, tracking their movement through the space, creating an immersive and playful experience.” More information on Pixelsumo, also check out the video for a better explanation …
