Ideas

Where was I?
Take two people that are separated. Give a Phototrackr to one person, and have another take photos. Sync the data. Shows where one person was while the other took the photo. Ideal use would be deployed military personnel and their spouses.

Die Hard Labor
Film an action movie with all cast and crew made up of day laborers from outside Home Depot and paint stores.

Microsponsorships
Use emerging smart imaging algorithms to sponsor people’s photos on Facebook. One free Whopper per week if you let us put The King in your drunk party photos.

Break Media
Use the same imaging algorithms to erase significant others from your photos when you end your relationship.

Makerbot Motion
Use a Makerbot to print out frames of a 3D animation, film replacement series stop motion using Dragon. (Working on this right now.) Also could be animated live, by hand using a stroboscopic technique on a hand spinner with a bright LED.

You gotta do something about that…
Facebook app to anonymously tell your friends they have a problem. Their breath stinks, sponsored by Listerine. They have too much unprotected sex, sponsored by Trojan.

Time Travel Flashlight
Combine real-time Photosynth, projection mapping, and pico projectors.

Think Globally, Act Locally
Make a mask that has 12-16 bananas on it. Each banana has a firecracker hidden inside it. Film myself from the front with a black backdrop and light the firecrackers one by one. Damn you, William Lamson.

Free Space
In your small urban apartment, make all of your possessions you use during the day RED and all of your possessions you use during the evening BLUE. During the day, wear BLUE GLASSES and during the evening, wear RED GLASSES. Makes your apartment seem much more spacious.

Let me know if you are doing any of this stuff so we’re not accidentally working in parallel!
