Gumulon - 'Chew the Future!'

Ad agency, Wieden+Kennedy have created an insane campaign for Stride Gum that manages to allow players to control the main character's movement, simply by chewing gum. In the app game, Gumulon, you make use of the forward-facing camera on the iPhone, where the game tracks players’ jaw movements. Anyone sick of chewing, the game can also be controlled via the touchscreen.


SKY - The Talking Window

A unique device that talks to weary commuters as they rest their heads on the glass. The contact activates an audio ad that plays into the sleeper’s ear - to the uninitiated, the message from the advert seems to be a voice talking inside their head, and nobody else can hear it. A small transmitter attached to the window sends out inaudible high-frequency vibrations, which translate into sound in the brain. This magic is known officially as ‘Bone Conduction’, and has previously only been used by the military and to help the deaf.
