Puppet Parade - Interactive Kinect Puppets

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:42:00 -0800

via vimeo.com

Puppet Parade is an interactive installation that allows children to use their arms to puppeteer larger than life creatures projected on the wall in front of them. Children can also step in to the environment and interact with the puppets directly, petting them or making food for them to eat. This dual interactive setup allows children to perform alongside the puppets, blurring the line between the 'audience' and the puppeteers and creating an endlessly playful dialogue between the children in the space and the children puppeteering the creatures.

Impossibly Fast Strategies

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 02:08:00 -0700

See the full gallery on Posterous

The IPA recently published a Fast Strategy app to the iTunes store. The app "gives you a zippy boost in a different direction if you're facing the dreaded Planners Block".

For those without the time to open the app and search for inspiration, I present here 4 ready-to-go Impossibly Fast Strategies! If you only have a few minutes to come up with a strategy (we've all been there), one of these is sure to hit the spot. The Impossibly Fast Strategies come at a few different price points:

£1000
£5000
£10,500
£100,000

I present these Impossibly Fast Strategies under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) license, so, if you win a pitch with one of them it should be attributed to me. You can keep the money.

Yes indeed. Forget that Porsche. Get some steel!

I was actually given a big sword as a leaving present when I left a company many years ago. Nice touch, I thought.

Love this approach to music combined with iPad/iPhone app. Buggy as hell but strangely beautiful. There's always room for more strangely beautiful things in the world. This intro video is narrated by David Attenborough.
