Nikon Interactive Billboard






At a busy Seoul subway station, Nikon mounted a huge interactive, light-box billboard displaying life-like images of paparazzi. Huddled together as if at a premiere, the "paps" appear to be jostling and competing for the best celebrity snap. The celebrities in this case were the passers-by, who automatically triggered a deluge of flashing camera lights as they walked past the billboard. The accidental superstars then followed the red carpet all the way out of the station and into a mall - directly into the store where they could purchase the new D700. Mission accomplished.

As the selected pedestrian continues walking and moves the slider along, the wall will start displaying colorful animation and playing music, effects that will grow or recede at the pace that the person advances or retreats.

HBO / Big Love: Audio Billboards






Interactive audio billboards featured everyday people walking on a city street.

Installations ran simultaneously in NYC (42 panels in the Times Square subway station) and LA (Hollywood & Highland and Venice Beach).









Mini Billboard Interactive






The boards in a sign in San Francisco, which usually carry typical advertising, are programmed to identify approaching Mini drivers through a coded signal from a radio chip embedded in their key fob.
