janrain_social_web.jpg

It has been well documented that just having a Facebook page or sending the occasional tweet are not enough to have a significant, sustainable impact on business results.

Volkswagen cria carro movido a grito na Holanda

Em sua campanha para as Olimpíadas de Londres na Holanda, a Volkswagen criou uma corrida de 100 metros para desafiar as pessoas, torcedores holandeses com seu laranja e itens espalhafatosos tradicionais em estádios.

Porém, são duas diferenças básicas: 1. A corrida não é com as pernas, e sim com um carro: o modelo Up!. 2. O carro não tem acelerador.

A única maneira de tirar o Up! do lugar é no grito. Quanto mais alto se grita, mais rápido o carro anda. São provas diárias, e as equipes que obtiverem os melhores tempos no dia levam ingressos para assistir provas e partidas dos Jogos Olímpicos.

Aqui tem todo um making of da tecnologia usada – batizada de Orange Motion em homenagem a torcida holandesa – mas trata-se basicamente de um medidor de decibéis atrelado ao acelerador do carro. Algumas medidas de segurança foram pensadas para a brincadeira: O limite de velocidade é 30km/h, e o co-piloto que acompanha a prova tem freio do lado direito.

A criação é da agência Achtung!. O comercial abaixo promove a ação:

E se os seus aplicativos preferidos no smartphone fizessem parte do seu corpo?

Já vimos várias abordagens e exercícios futurísticos do tipo, mas nunca deixa de ser divertido.

Lembra, por exemplo, da cidade inteira em realidade aumentada? Que é basicamente a mesma coisa que essa realidade (hyper) aumentada. Até a Nokia já brincou de imaginar um pouco, com a realidade mixada.

O curta “Sight”, criado por Eran May-raz e Daniel Lazo, me ganhou ao fazer referência ao “Fruit Ninja” na hora de cortar frutas e legumes. É como se nosso corpo fosse repleto de aplicativos, incorporados em situações triviais da nossa vida.
