National Geographic Interactive Campaign

Where were you?

As the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 approaches, National Geographic Channel has


launched an interactive Facebook app, Remembering 9/11, where people can record where they were when the Twin Towers fell.

Developed with digital agency Neo-Pangea, the app will allow users to post brief accounts of their 9/11 experiences and mark their stories with location-specific tags to be featured on the interactive map. Users will be able to explore all posted anecdotes by location and filter stories to see their friends' stories and share comments.

The Coca Cola Friendship Machine


A great way to reinforce what Coke is all about.

Augmented Reality Advertising Takeover in Times Square

This just happened on Sunday.
The Public Ad Campaign was beta testing replacing the outdoor ads with artworks.

According to their blog, the video went viral before they even had a chance to release an "official" version. A much more extensive video will be released within the next week.

Their biggest obstacle? Changing the art as often as the ads change, which is about every week or so.

YouTube Head Tracking

This is neat - and it opens up a whole new scope of possibilities for interactive experiences using motion tracking technology. I think the campaign needs work from a User Experience standpoint (it's not very clear what you're supposed to do without reading about the campaign first) but the technology is pretty cool and the idea itself (Hugo Boss let's you see things differently) comes through in the execution.
