Google Times Square

Visual system for Google
As part of their campaign for the Android platform, Google erected the largest outdoor display in North America in the heart of Times Square: a screen eight stories tall spanning an entire city block, with thirty additional feet around each corner.

 

what we did

We created a system that could accommodate products properly on a gargantuan screen: from phones and watches to cars. Working closely with Google New York and Mountain View, we produced twenty-four hours of continuous animated content covering the entire Android catalog.

 

and then...

The team developed interactive games for the Kinect system, able to be played by passersby on the street. Fifty thousand people walk through Times Square every day. We hope they took notice.
