Maybe Kids Should Rule the World.

Or just this one.



And I like her little insight at the end on the cops.

Brandfirst + SoftKinetic's 3D Gesture Control Installation for Yahoo

A dude on Twitter said this is like Kinect on a screen 20 times bigger than yours. I wonder if all the walls in public spaces will be like this someday. It'll be like walking through a dream, unique to you, all the time.

What if You Settled for the First Thing that Came Along?

Hyundai gives you Anachronistic City, land of the (decidedly) brave folk who settled for first-generation technology. This is its sly approach for promoting the Sonata, its first-ever hybrid vehicle (late to the game, and probably not even your first-ever hybrid vehicle).

I also like the tagline: "Think about it." Nice and clean while lending plenty of creative flexibility.

Good solid work by Innocean; print spreads below (click to enlarge). I still don't think I'd ever get a Hyundai but that's just prejudice. Maybe if they keep at it.

It's a Chanel Bot ... that Smokes!

Brought to life by makeup magician Peter Philips with Nowness for Chanel. An entertaining way to demo all elements of the typically overwhelming makeup superkit while tying fashion's fast-paced catwalk feel to the cutesy tech personifications of today. (Consider. And also.)

RFID in Yo' Kicks*

For ye futurists in training, WESC gives us Karmatech, a line of tennis shoes outfitted with RFID that users opt to activate once they get home.

The video illustrates the possibilities and setbacks: an RFID-outfitted "social shoe" can automatically update your socnets and flash personalised (if otherwise unimaginative) hello's to you from the brand while you're out in the world, struttin' your shit. (Mini Cooper did something similar using billboards and RFID-equipped keyfobs in 2007.)

Park your foot against the side of a participating bar to get a free drink on WESC, have a photo of you instantly sent to your Flickr, or even access VIP toilets.** o_O

It's Not Monopoly, + You're Gonna Learn to Hate Moms with Babies.

Karol Madaj of Poland's state National Remembrance Institute demonstrate's Kolejka (The Queue), which he created to remind Polish youth how hard communism sucked.

On February 5, Poland's National Remembrance Institute will be punting some 3,000 copies of a new game called Kolejka (The Queue). Developed by Karol Madaj, the object is to buy basic living supplies while lack of deliveries, shortages, and other players cutting the line with "connections" cards try stealing your thunder.
