If you've always secretly wanted to grab a spray paint can and just go to town on a pristine garage door or brick wall, making your mark and starting your own gang, the folks from Lumacoustics somehow sensed your deepest, darkest thoughts and developed the virtual graffiti wall. Lumacoustics teamed up with YR Wall, who handles the rental and customization of the product.
The wall is used in much the same way as a conventional canvas but has the functionality of a typical interactive computer digital art paint program crossed with a simple animation package, enabling users to easily create and explore colours, textures and movement. Artistic digital creations can then be saved, recalled and played back, as well as utilized in a number of other ways to create unique and personal mementos of their digital graffiti experience. For example, the user will have the option receive a copy of their creation by email free of charge and to email friends and family with a virtual 'postcard' from the event. A recent addition to YrWall allows T-shirts and stickers to be printed for the user to take away.
The user's graffiti can also be projected digitally onto another screen or multiple screens in higher, more visible positions. This not only gives the user's creation more impact, it also allows more people to view what is being drawn. With a mutiple screen setup, the user can choose which screen to edit, leaving the other screens un-effected by changes to the wall.
It occurred to me that there's potentially a fantastic application here for facilitators and graphic facilitators. Can you imagine the possibilities for your next ideation session -- using a virtual wall to illustrate ideas and share them with the group? No need to transcribe and/or scan. And add into that the savings on markers and its a done deal! See some live demos at www.yrwall.com and let the ideas flow . . . . .
