SWEATSHOPPE has outdone just about every other digital graffiti group I’ve seen yet with their green LED-tracking technology that follows the tip of a green LED roller and uses a projector to “paint” on the wall. The great thing of course with these digital graffiti setups is that the paint on the wall is alive (plus, I guess it doesn’t really mess anything up). [via]

The Obscura CueLight pool table is located at Esquire’s NYC bachelor pad and features a projector with smart sensors that indicate where a pool ball is on the table. When a pool ball rolls over any portion of the table, the projected image shows ripples as if the real-life pool balls were affecting the projected surface image. How much does something like this cost? About $200,000 according to CrunchGear. Yikes.

555 KUBIK: turning a solid building into a fluid digital sculpture

555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo.

Urbanscreen utilized the facade of a building as a canvas for manipulation in this video that demonstrates how a solid object can be manipulated by digital means to become a fluid sculpture. A rather lovely project in my opinion, and one that makes me wish buildings around me would come alive like this one.

Thanks Jessica!
