Kinetic Snowcone as a Lifeguard Post

RAW Design, Ferris + Associates et Curio ont monté ensemble la compétition internationale de design « Winter Stations » à Toronto. Le « Snowcone » des deux étudiantes Diana Koncan et Lily Jeon a retenu l’attention : il s’agit d’un poste de secours cinétique en forme de cône-igloo organique qui adapte la direction de ses pétales colorées selon le temps qu’il fait.

The installations remain open to the public until march 20, 2015.

SxSW 2015: O seu próximo amigo pode ser um robô

Jibo

Se você é fã de filmes de ficção científica – e assistiu “Eu, Robo?” com os olhos vidrados na tela (ou no Will Smith!), talvez você goste deste post.

Agora, se você assistiu “O Homem Bicentena?rio”, com o saudoso Robin Williams fazendo o papel de um “robô da família” e se emocionou, você vai adorar o que eu vou contar: aquilo que te encantou e que há 15 anos atrás era futurologia pura não é mais.

Cynthia Breazeal, idealizadora do Jibo (meu novo objeto de desejo), veio contar sobre uma nova geração de robôs – os social bots.

À primeira vista, são robôs como já conhecíamos: eles te ajudam a manter a dieta na linha, ensinam palavras novas para crianças, cuidam da casa. Mas eles também fazem algo inédito: são capazes de demonstrar sentimentos e têm “inteligência social”.
Duvida? Então assista isso:

Agora pense: tecnologia e emoção, juntos. Combinação mais poderosa (e perigosa, dependendo do uso) não há. Para produtos, instituições, publicitários…o potencial é infinito.

Vou dar um exemplo: um novo tipo de tratamento pra parar de fumar, que combina um wearable e um app de smartphone. Quando você começa o tratamento, ele te pede pra tirar uma foto do que está te motivando a tentar parar de fumar. E aí, toda vez que te dá aquela vontade louca de acender um cigarro, você encosta numa área do bracelete, e o app te entrega uma mensagem motivacional – junto com aquela foto enviada – pra você não esmorecer. Incrível, né?

Esta foi a tônica do meu dia ontem aqui – 3 das 4 palestras que vi tangenciaram o assunto. E arriscando queimar a largada, vou fazer uma previsão: acho que esta será uma das discussões centrais desta edição. Tomara que eu acerte!

SxSW 2015: Disposição juvenil

Lost River

AUSTIN, TX – Entramos em um painel que apresentava o filme “Lost River”. O diretor, Ryan Gosling, e Guillermo Del Toro, que é aparentemente seu mentor, trocaram lindas palavras de apreço um pelo outro, no que parece um jogo de ping pong com os dois jogadores do mesmo lado da mesa.

Pra entrar, precisamos esperar uma hora na fila, do lado de fora. Essa experiência, por si só, foi muito mais significativa do que o painel.

Paralela a nossa fila, havia a fila do food truck Chi’lantro, que serve burritos de Korean BBQ. Uma fila enorme pra comer uma comida que deveria ser simples e tosca, mas é feita de um jeito meio fusion, é a cara de Austin. E isso não é uma crítica. Comida + inovação + preço baixo + disposição juvenil são parte importante da cultura da cidade como um todo. E é essa cultura vibrante que existe nas ruas da cidade que te dá a sensação de que um evento como esse não poderia ser feito em New York ou Los Angeles.

Um mundo onde marcas, além de consumidores, tem fãs. Brindes são commodities. Sites podem ser rockstars.

Um cara ouviu a gente falar em português e veio se apresentar. Ele é um americano e montou uma consultoria para ajudar empresas americanas a abrir negócios no Brasil. “Eu moro no Rio e faço negócios em São Paulo”, disse com sotaque e com orgulho. Existe um interesse especial do pessoal que freqüenta o SxSW em mercados fora dos Estados Unidos. E isso está obviamente ligado a vontade de viajar, conhecer o mundo. Disposição juvenil, como eu falei.

Também na fila, a gente ouve comentários “você foi no Bates Motel? Viu o lounge da 3M? do Mashable? O painel do Buzzfeed?” Esse evento é sobre um mundo onde marcas são atrações por si só. É claro que sempre tem a idéia de oferecer carregadores, sofás bebida e comida grátis… Tudo isso é atraente para o público, como qualquer evento. Mas o SxSW é sobre um mundo onde marcas, além de consumidores, tem fãs. Brindes são commodities. Sites podem ser rockstars.

Take a Tour of HBO's Pretty Awesome SXSWesteros Game of Thrones Activation

Austin is swarming with interesting and weird activations at this year’s South by Southwest. And HBO’s Game of Thrones experience, cleverly named “SXSWesteros,” is a particular standout. 

HBO teamed up with design studio Red Paper Heart to help visitors become the show’s badass teenage heroine, Arya Stark, in the form of a pretty great interactive piece. As you enter the first darkly lit room, you’re first greeted by another brand partner, Ommegang, which has brewed up its fifth Game of Thrones inspired beer—a quite tasty, 7.2 percent alcohol-by-volume, dark saison ale, thematically titled “Three Eyed Raven.” 

Next, it’s over to the Iron Thrown to have your picture taken sitting in it. Asked what it was made of, my guide replied: “Fiberglass—er, i mean, the swords of my enemies.”

After you’ve had your turn as the ruler of all the land, it’s over to get your photo taken to prepare for your final battle. Then step up on stage and as the sounds of Westeros swirl around you, grab your sword and be ready to fight. Think of it as Fruit Ninja but with a darker twist. As you chop your way through the obstacles in front of you, your Game of Thrones-inspired portrait appears in front of you (which you can then email to yourself).

Check out our video tour below, as well as a couple of snaps from the experience.
