2. 1. Yahoo BusStop Rivalry If you’ve ever dreamed about strutting down the runway during one of the most highly-publicized fashion shows of the year, then New York City is going to help you partially indulge in that fantasy. From November 19th through to the 30th Victoria’s Secret’s SoHo store will be displaying nine different sets of wings that have been worn by models like Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima, and giving passersby the opportunity to pose in front of them and have their picture taken. The photos will then be uploaded to the Victoria’s Secret Facebook page so you can share them with friends. In December 2010 in San Francisco, Yahoo installed digital screens into 20 bus shelters across the city on which commuters can play video games against each other. Passengers identify which of the specified neighbourhoods they would like to represent when playing and the one that wins the two month long contest will be rewarded with a music block party featuring the band OK GO!
5. C 3. Honda TV ad + iphoneap interact Here is something seriously cool. Honda has just unveiled an interactive TV campaign called “This Unpredictable Life” to launch the new Honda Jazz, and with that, an iPhone app that allows you to literally grab content from the ad as it plays. The campaign uses whats called “screen hopping” that works by having sound from the TV ad recognised by the iPhone App, so when pre defined sound waves are read, the app knows to display the same character that was on screen at that moment, essentially giving you the ability to interact with the TV ad in real time. Screen hopping takes this a little further though, once you’ve got the character, you can interact separately with each one away from the TV ad, by doing things like singing into the iPhone to make characters dance!!
