Bondi Beach Flash Mob

There are few things I love in life more than a good flash mob. Take a peek at a recent one that went down at Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia.

Magic Tricks with an iPad

After viewing iPad+Velcro it seemed that Apple was making good on its promise of the iPad being 'magical'. Now watch what happens when Japanese magician Shinya Uchida gets his hands on one..

Grooving Baby!

There are few things I love more in life than a good dancing baby. Brazilian baby dancing samba does not disappoint!

Ice cream machine trades smiles for desserts

Augmented reality ice cream machine trades smiles for desserts. Customer experience company SapientNitro and ice cream makers Unilever are teaming up to make us smile for ice cream. They’ve developed what they’re calling the world’s first smile-activated vending machine.

SapientNitro is currently testing out the machine at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. When you step in front of the screen your face is framed with a mustache and transported to the augmented reality of Unilever.

After it prompts you to smile, the dessert-vending device measures the wideness of your grin using facial recognition technology, snaps a pic, and, with your permission, uploads that snap to Facebook. Next, you choose the free treat of your choice via the touchscreen at the front of the machine and collect your sweet reward. (Treats will only be free at Cannes.)



You can check out a gallery of smiles now on Cannes Sapient Nitro’s Facebook Page.

Has the iPad become part of your daily life yet? And if so, how can the addition of velcro to the mix help revolutionize this product?
