Collective Human Joysticks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

AudienceGames

— March 26, 2008 — Unique
Imagine a crowd sitting in a cinema moving their bodies from side to side to control a car projected in the screen. Just like a gigantic maneuver or a "collective human joystick".

This is AudienceGames created by Brand Experience Lab, last summer. After two completely successful pilots with Volvo and MSNBC.com, the company has developed a partnership with National CineMedia in the US to introduce this awesome experiential marketing service to a much wider audience.

It works with a motion sensor placed in the front of the theater. This is the real advergaming thing. A totally memorable, fun and interactive brand experience.
