Kinect Graffiti

I love the hacks that have become with the Xbox Kinect. The stills look a lot like light painting/graffiti trend that's picked up with the rise of digital photography.

Kinect Graffiti™ is a digital graffiti tool using "Microsoft Kinect" camera. Idea behind this project is to use the kinect to track the motion behind graffiti. Visualizing the body and drawing trough different angles in real-time, understanding surrounding space, pausing the time, etc.

On the Defense - PC Wars

Ok, I'm sure all those Mac geniuses out there are having a field day with Vista and Microsoft. Doesn't it seem like they have to defend themselves constantly? The Mojave project was the first uh-oh. Did Microsoft have to lie to the consumers to get them to like the product again? What happened to the fun and delicious Seinfeld and Bill Gates ad. That was a great tv spot, but it seems like they are stuck on trying to reconcile with the consumers. Microsoft Windows are trying to defend a product that just isn't functional.

Here is the latest try with one from the series of I'm a PC, again to defend against Mac's reputation to show how ancient PC has become. It's the new smear campaign to go along with Barach and McCain campaigns.



That commercial doesn't scream I want a PC. No strengths/attributes were included in the ad just the use of celebrity endorsements, that I'm sure was costly, but one problem with the campaign’s credibility....the ad was created using a Mac.
