Mr. Sparkle vs. PIXMAN

It's odd enough that I'm currently working at PIXAR, but I went out to dinner tonight with Scotty Pongi at The Gold Spike (steak, med. rare and 2 martinis) and met up with PIXMAN.

Actually it was a guy named Francois from Montreal that makes content for the PIXMAN displays, which are wearable LCD video displays.

Taro, this baby's for you! Along with your Pongi-cam, you'll need a Pixman to display back what the Pongi cam is picking up. Sounds kinda scary!

It's perfect for Tokyo except the subway corridors in Shinjuku and Ginza don't have enghough clearance.

The "humans" can also be outfitted with video projectors, rather than LCD displays. Even a small assortment of Pongis would cause quite a disturbance with visions of the "Happy Hour" splashing across the barrel of Roppongi Hills or the Ichi Maru Kyu.

Coool! It's like a latter day sandwich board man

Can you get it to say "THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH" or "JESUS BLED ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SOUL" or something like that?
