A social media layer over real life

Because people are a social specie, the online social media is the internet catch-up on real life. But wouldn’t be fun if the online info would be a sort of an augmented reality layer over real life?

The future of the book

IDEO has created three innovative visions of the book of the future, all of which exist, predictably, on some sort of iPad-like tablet.
The idea’s should’ve come (out of the box) with a build in time extender. Because I wouldn’t know where to get that. All the concepts have something additional. And additional = extra time
Although the first concept ‘Nelson’ seems the save you time by finding out if you’re beeing adequately informed by checking sources for you, so you won’t have to do it yourself. But if you have to read all these sources, discussions and links…
Still, I really like the concepts.

2. A hilarious viral of Tipp-Ex. For the full effect, you should visit YouTube yourself.

3. Tostitos uses a complete viedeo takeover on Vimeo. Check this video here.


4. And old one (2008) from Nintendo, promoting Wario Land: Shake it!

This is the result of TAT’s Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few.
