AN IPAD CONTROLLED VIDEO BLIMP.
The crew at the creative agency Breakfast have done it again. These fellows have a knack for turning innovative ideas into fruition, having fun all the while. The after-party held during this year's Design Week involved an auction of one-of-a-kind KidRobot Munny characters, inspired by and for the purchase of some of the world's most prestigious designers.
In order to provide all attendees with a bit of amusement and to correlate with the event, Breakfast altered a blimp drone (BlimpDuino) to hover throughout the crowd, capture a live video feed of the guests, and displace the various Munny heads onto their faces. And it was all controlled by an iPad. In essence, they assimilated a code that transforms the iPad into a control panel for this blimp and displays the images of its subjects on the screen as well. The video was then projected onto a larger screen so that all guests were able to view their arial toy transformations.
Here is a shot of the blimp being controlled by a guest and dodging through the space.
A clip of the subjects' juxtapositions:
This blimp is such a neat way to apply new media. The iPad has only been available for a couple of months, yet no time is wasted with incorporating it into current projects as a new technological tool. This piece thrives on interactivity, both with the controller of the iPad and the subjects of the video feed. It served as an advertising piece for the auctioned Munny characters, and doubled as a promotional piece for the Breakfast members themselves. I look forward to seeing what else Breakfast has in store for us.
