AnalogFolk gets all interactive for Xmas. Nice idea, nicely executed. They could’ve thrown in a few smiles though, looks like the band master was a real task master!!!

What do you get when you mash-up a staircase with thousands of LED’s? None other than this staircase at Louis Vuitton on Via Condotti, Rome. Imagine the possibilites!?!?! All they need to do is integrate an SMS shortcode onto the window and they’ve got a super-sticky branded experience with massive PR appeal. C’mon, its not like LV is short of cash…

99% of the time, Christmas cards are shit. So shit in fact that just the thought of them makes me cringe. Thankfully here’s two brilliant examples of that 1% of the time we all look forward to…

The first is a game by Framestore CFC and its as addictive as it is simple, and as is it well executed. I’m not a massive gamer, but this isn’t really a concept I’ve come across before, and just the fact that its a polar bear flying through the air makes the whole thing perfectly surreal.

The second example comes courtesy of AKQA and their little webcam-ified furry friends Cheese and Biscuits. Their (in)decision to run on the wheel controls the electricity supply to a lovely (and possibly very tiny) neon light message. Oh and they only work M-F, 9:30 – 5:30. Whoever said that AKQA worked everyone into the ground?!?!? ;-p

Some simple electronics and a pursuit of what i would call ‘invisible interaction’ forms the basis of the Zygote ball by tangible interaction. Check the movie for the lowdown. Sure its not going to change the world, but who wouldn’t punch it? So that makes it a definite success…
