Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

Adobe Ideas 2006

A cellphone multiuser installation I made for the Adobe "ideas" conference in Tokyo, August 4, 2006.

Everyone in the audience could access the application by using their cellphones and first taking a snapshot of a QRCode that held the url of the flashlite client. Once in, they'd enter a username, select their avatar, and then they'd show up in the big screen infront of them. They could walk around their avatars and send messages using their keypad, but it didn't take long until they figured out that by pressing '0' they'd fire lasers from their eyes! The objective of the game was becoming the last survivor in screen.
