Dancing SPHERES. CO2 steered robots. Inspired by Star Wars. Have an Android device integrated. In the background The Blue Danube Waltz as in 2001: A Space Odyssey. And check out the screensaver on the laptop on the right side. Reminds me of my first Windows 3.11 PC computer.

The Junkyard Jumbotron is a Conglomerated Display

The MIT Center for Future Civic Media hacked together a nifty thing. Creating an unique interactive home brewn artsy-fartsy MEDIA INSTALLATION.

Make one of you own:

  1. Collect some devices with internet and a screen (Laptop, Computer, iPhone, Tablet)
  2. Arrange them somehow together
  3. Create your own Jumbotron here
  4. Open on each device the provided link
  5. Each device now shows some fancy unique QR-esque code (They call it an augmented reality code)
  6. Take a pic of the whole installation
  7. Email that to an adress that was provided by creating your personal Jumbotron
  8. Enjoy. You can now modify the stiched image on each device. And that will affect all the other devices.
