I could do that...
It's 3D rendering and playing with shadowing and illusions...
...and oh my GOD is that COOL!
The DETAIL!
I'm thinking of what I could do at Halloween over here!
I actually have a projector that goes from the tip of the house down to the base with different films you can switch out. One of them has a bunch of ghosts that float down (not great against a white house), one has Boo! (in orange) and I think one is of black cats with their backs arched.
But it's all FLAT!
I'm largely unimpressed.
The 350+ kids we get every year like it, but that's just because no one else does it around here.
NOT ENOUGH!
THIS IS SO MUCH COOLER.
Oh my God...
Look at 00:35 on this one... that would be freaking AMAZING to do to your house during Halloween.
Warning: Music included and it sort of sucks...
That's just... slick!
Hands!
These people with the snow...
laughs...
creepy eyes!
laughing...Okay, seriously, can you imagine driving down the road and seeing all those eyes following you?
The globes are cool.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT... I would definitely win the Holiday Contest out here with THAT...
That's the future of Christmas Decorations.
It's the future of commercial advertising.
It's the future of art inside homes.
Oh my God -
It's the future of Theme Park Rides.
It's the future of Movie Theaters.
Picture it, can you see being in a theater and having an EarthQuake scene and the curtains/walls around the stage crumble down like that?
Brilliant!
The MILITARY! Can you imagine flying low into combat and being able to completely camouflage your aircraft?
Want a few choices on color for your car? Program the desired code and there you go, your once white car is now blue or red or black.
I'm over here thinking of endless possibilities.
I need to know what programs they use for this and learn it.
Just for fun.
Nightclubs. No more need for hundreds of dollars in lights and lighted floor tiles.
ReplyDeleteHotels. A different theme for every season.
Wedding Places. Create packages that relate to ANYTHING that person wants. Jesus, the possibilities are TRULY endless. You could literally turn a plain room into a field or an island or like being surrounded by mountains or waterfalls or endless roaming gardens. You could make it so doves fly out and up without murdering actual doves. Butterflies and rose pedals falling down or whatever it is normal people use at their weddings.
Stages for plays - no more assembling wooden scenes.
Once did a musical where I had to dance on basically two 2x4's - that was NOT fun... being a fatalist, I was the entertainment, "Someone is going to wind up with a lovely SPINAL CORD INJURY before this is over!" -- I'm a hit at parties, really.
Graduation ceremonies - thousands of tossed up hats in the air.
Haunted Houses will take on a whole new meaning.
Moving art in a frame in your house.
For those living in sandy lands like Arizona, it can turn your driveway into a POND - complete with moving fish and make your yard looks lush with greens.
FENCES! White fence normally - turned into wrought iron, wooden or ivy covered stone walls with the flip of a switch.
Your bathroom shower tiles can turn into a full fledged waterfall.
The face of your cabinets and appliances can turn sleek and uniform. Hell, for that matter, you could change the look of your counter top to different kinds of marble without the thousands of dollars of expense.
Don't like the look of your windows inside? Project frosted imagining over them. Blacken them out when you're watching a movie.
People that get depressed in the winter months? Project a summer image with blossoms and the sun in your living room.
EVIDENCE! Used in court, a 3D rendering of a crime after showing the medical damage will give a clear picture to a jury exactly how it took place versus having them try to follow along with testimony.
ReplyDeleteDon't have the funds to repaint your garage or shed? Stop pissing off the neighbors and give the impression that it's not worn by projecting what it WILL look like sooner or later.
Change the columns on your house to Grecian or Roman.
And THEN you can hook it up to a sound system!
Oh my God...
Think of the 4th of July!!
ReplyDeleteA whole fish aquarium and all the health benefits of that without the pain in the ass measures and costs of having to keep all the little suckers alive!
ReplyDeleteoOoOoh... you could project SHARKS!
and my beloved Blob Fish!!...
Built into tables.....
ReplyDeleteYou could conceivably have a dining room table that can switch to being a board game table (chess, checkers, etc) or a poker table - or a mosaic Mona Lisa!
though, Mona Lisa would not be my first choice...it would be something, anything, that Jack Vettriano did...
The atmospheres you could create are just astounding. Winter months? Have a fireplace? Turn your walls into a log cabin look.
lmao...
Or make it look like a New York Subway complete with graffiti! Hilarious.
Have a Train room?
Do people even have Train rooms anymore or is it just my Dad?
Turn it into an actual TRAIN complete with passing scenery and tracking lights on the ceiling.
My bedroom would be the coolest fucking bedroom - EVER. THAT much I already KNOW.
And yes, I get that it's a projection... however, that's a small step between that and what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteWhomever is in charge of this Think Tank, I want a hand-written invitation to join!
I'm smitten!
ReplyDeleteThink of what it could mean for interior designers? To be able to SHOW someone what their make-over will turn out to be.
ReplyDeleteAnd builders for that matter... architects... take a flat plot and do a 3D projection on it to show the buyers what it will look like.
I hate to say this too, but, it will inevitably happen - Plastic Surgery. What you will look like can be projected right onto you while you're looking into a mirror.
ReplyDeleteAny kind of reconstructive surgery.
Home Invasion Systems! You could program it to randomly light up a window and give a moving silhouette so strangers think someone is at home.
ReplyDeleteDemolition training - teaching that if you bomb over here, this is how the building will fall.
ReplyDeleteFire Fighter training - if you open this window or door over here, it will blast out the glass on the side of the house over there.
For places that are always warm and never/rarely see snow on Christmas, you could cover the buildings on a Main Street in snow.
Restaurants could make a fortune simply by the research done about influence - what makes one food or another appealing? Sight, sound, throw in a scent and it's a gold mine.
Dammit, I'm at work and I can't see any of this stuff. :-(
ReplyDeleteOk go take your ritalin.
ReplyDeleteThe only application I can think for this is the obnoxious. Like on the house at halloween! Big red floating 3d letters that says all sorts of festive phrases like....
"OUR APPLES HAVE RAZOR BLADES"
"WE GAVE AWAY ALL THE GOOD CANDY TO KIDS WE LIKE - GET LOST"
Oh yeah. Christmas could be REALLY fun!
Like Santa and his cute little reindeer flying across the sky.....and me taking shots at Fruity, Sneezy and Bozo the reindeer! Then of course you have to half and field dress them....
!!
"SANTA IS REALLY YOUR DRUNK FATHER"
hahaha Ho Ho Ho!
Awesome. I need to buy one.
Wow
ReplyDeleteSomething Happened Somewhere Turning - You MUST see it when you get home! It's worth it!
ReplyDeleteJ.D. - Ritalin makes me sleep! Wait... I mean... shut up...laughs...
"Santa...is really...your drunk...father..."
stare...
Oh.
My.
God.
stare...
That's just...
stare...
BRILLIANT!
laughs...
And this is why we'll always be friends - because you make the things I say look, not so bad....!
I did have to yell at my son one Halloween, he actually did say something like, "You should have been here earlier, those kids got all the good candy"
Fruity, sneezy and bozo...
Don't be surprised when they charge you with being a public menace and disallow you from ever owning one of these.
pause
Let me know when you get one and I'll fly out just to watch.
laughs
"Mommy, the bad man down the street who gave me $20.00 for Halloween and told me never to come back to his house - KILLED RUDOLPH and made me cry!"
Yeah, and you think I'm going to be the one ultimately arrested for something! Ha!
I don't make small children cry!
I just make big children cry!
Laoch of Chicago - How cool is that!
I know something is a good idea when I open my eyes in the morning and ideas are still popping in my head.
Can you imagine an alarm clock that triggers a room setting? For those that like to wake up gradually, a sunrise - for those that need a little push - a war zone!
Then I was contemplating how the projector could be built into any ceiling fan light kit so it could surround the whole room.
Alright, Ponti Mython - where have you been hiding?
ReplyDeleteYeah fruity, sneezy and bozo. Santas reindeer names.
ReplyDeleteTheres probably plenty of things I shouldnt be allowed to own.
For the record, that was probably the best halloween that kid ever had!
I admire your ability to make the big kids cry. Its a gift. Its beautiful.
I have been out of the country on a secret mission that I can't tell you about or I will need to kill you ... shit.... unread that so I don't have to.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to learn something and have it be so real. What we know of the inside of an atom, or a cell. Watching a lecture.
ReplyDeleteAnd this must also be what I saw when I went to Disneyland at Halloween projected onto Space Mountain. Creepy and cool.
