Olha aí mais um projeto online da Uniqlo. Fuçando o Imprint Talk, descobri o Uniqlo Jump, uma plataforma que reúne 696 imagens de funcionários das lojas, pulando e exibindo alguma(s) peça(s) de roupa(s) da marca.

As imagens foram fotografadas em 27 cidade de 5 países diferentes. Qual deve ser a próxima?

Realidade Aumentada em Cartão de Visita

ar.jpg

Sensacional esse uso de Realidade Aumentada!
O programador James Alliban criou um cartão de visitas que, ao ser colocado na frente de uma webcam, exibe uma imagem 3D dele mesmo. Além disso, o cartão do futuro emite som, e James relata alguns detalhes de sua vida pessoal e profissional. É uma idéia muito bacana e também inspiradora, mas que pode ser melhorada. Veja o vídeo com a demonstração abaixo:

Ok, eu até poderia ter postado isso no INvertido, mas sempre que dá eu trago aqui outros assuntos paralelos à publicidade e marketing, até porque o ADivertido é, acima de tudo, um blog de inspirações e tendências.

Agora, imagina se a moda pega?!

Gender Gap Becomes Gulf Monday Night


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Monday morning's TV was dominated by senators sitting down with Sonia Sotomayor, who looks to continue to break down barriers if she is confirmed and becomes only the third woman on the U.S. Supreme Court. Monday night's TV, however — dominated by ESPN's MLB Home Run Derby and ABC's "The Bachelorette" commitment — built barriers back up, as the gender divide that's dissipating in America's courtrooms was alive and well in America's living rooms.

A Decade of Evaporating Ad Pages for BusinessWeek, Forbes, Fortune


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — BusinessWeek survived the Great Depression, so you might think this current downturn wouldn't give it too much trouble. Heck, business news may have never been more important. But in the past decade the media landscape has changed drastically, and the top three business titles have watched ad pages evaporate.

Digital Shop Sets Up Social-Media Fund for Marketers


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — For marketers wanting to do something new, unusual or interesting in social media, there's a new grant they can apply for — from a digital agency. Dallas-based IMC2 has put $500,000 into what it calls the Social Media Innovation Fund out of which it will match, up to $50,000, what a marketer spends on a social-media project that, in the agency's words, "creates brand impact and showcases our thought leadership and offerings."

The Prototype Experience

Sabe aquelas toneladas de sites-virais que colocam nome e/ou foto do usuário no vídeo? Aqui um exemplo para “Dexter” e outro para “Sexta-Feira 13″, só para ficar em dois mais recentes. Pois então, a agência 1MD deu o próximo passo nesse tipo de ação com um site para promover o game “Prototype” (PC/X360/PS3) da Activision.

O que a brincadeira basicamente faz é montar um vídeo com o seus dados do Facebook, incluindo detalhes do perfis, fotos e amigos. Vale dizer que ainda é uma integração básica, mas já dá para imaginar as possibilidades de uso criativos com as informações de redes sociais. Diversos casos similares está surgindo nas últimas semanas.

Lançado no mês passado, o prototype-experience.com foi FWA no dia 27 de junho. Além disso, “Prototype” é um dos títulos mais divertidos desse meio de ano, recomendo.

A New Model for Digital Publishing … From an Academic Journal?


A couple of months ago I attended a discussion at the National Press Club titled "What Will We Tell Peoria?" during which a panel of journalists complained that people have become too stupid to realize how essential traditional methods of reporting are and how we'll all be sorry when rigorous newsrooms close and papers die and only TMZ is left standing. I think that is rubbish.
