Razorfish is proud to present Razorfone. The latest multi-touch project from Razorfish’s Emerging Experiences Team.

From the Emerging Experiences blog:

“Customers are being faced with increasingly complex buying decisions, especially when it comes to technology and services. As a result, increased pressure is being placed on store associates to provide knowledgeable service to customers. Our Emerging Experiences team used this opportunity to develop a solution to demonstrate how an immersive interactive experience can assist customers and store associates with complex buying decisions in a retail setting.”

Using Windows 7, the Razorfish Touch Framework and NextWindow touch screen technology, Razorfone is another example of how multi-touch experiences are going to become a bigger and bigger part of our lives.

Kudos to the Emerging Experiences Team!

Having worked on the Xbox account for 5-6 years and being part of Microsoft you’d probably expect we knew all about this. Nope! They kept this one under tight wraps and surprised the lot of us today. Of course there have been rumours on the web, but the fact is we did not expect to get an announcement this exciting! Most expected a ‘me too’ Wii catchup controller – but instead we have something truly groundbreaking.

Project Natal

What is it? Best to watch the videos, but in summary the hardware is a new breed of sensor for the Xbox 360 that can recognise a persons body movement accurately within a 3D space, full facial recognition and voice – without a controller. The potential is amazing… just watch. We understand that all the footage shot are real demos. Nothing canned.

The Ad: When Microsoft figures out how to make a decent ad, the competition will be in trouble – it’s the only thing we didn’t like.

Meet Milo – the virtual boy. (below)

How to make a cereal pack engaging

by amnesia on May 6, 2009

The clever folks at Metaio have applied their augmented reality skills to the humble cereal packet.  I like how there’s no need for a special graphic – the mobile software just recognises the packaging.  Data charges aside, the content can be updated daily, creating a reason for people to interact frequently.

No it’s not an amazing bit of new cool technology, it’s just Sara Watson’s art project – and we totally love it!

Reminds me of Julian Beever’s 3D chalk work below (here). Maybe Sarah will become the street artist who makes things “invisible”…?

3D Displays via Laser Beams

by amnesia on April 23, 2009

The scientists on the US TV series Bones have a computer modeling tool that shoots a 3D laser to show a crime scene or bone structure. Although much of that is CGI, that little tool has become reality thanks to the guys at Burton Inc. in Japan.
