Adobe is shilling for its Creative Suite 3 with a 7×15 ft . interactive wall outside of the Virgin Megastore in Union Square that debuts this break of day . The display concede the closest passerby control of a luger push button on the bottom that rig what ’s projected based on their walk speed and direction , produce different effects in the animation . It also react apropos to the crowd around it , which should make the glorious pedestrian over-crowding in that sphere even more awesome .
While emphatically foxy , the implementation of the idea actually seems jolly limited , and does n’t make full use of its potential drop — imagine a 20×20 foot adaptation of Microsoft Surface that the great unwashed could just take the air up and draw on . If it recorded every solidus made over the display ’s duration , it could turn into a really interesting mass fine art project , for instance . Sure , you ’d probably wind up with more than a few raunchy renderings , but it ’s New York , people can handle it .
That said , Adobe is at least slightly savvy to its users , directly torpedo the idea to stick around the demo in the tourer hellhole ( or just general hellhole ) that is Times Square , despite its heavier human foot traffic .
If you need to check it out but do n’t experience like hie out justly now to beat up the sweating masse to 14th St. , do n’t worry , it ’ll be there for a month . [ NYT ]
