Technology has fundamentally changed how brands and their audiences communicate, not just online but across all channels. Consequently interactive thinking needs to be at the heart of all marketing strategy and interactive channels at the heart of all marketing delivery.

Mini Augmented Reality
From the lovely guys and girls over at metaio.com.
It looks great but how are you going to use it? You could replicate this easily within a web environment so why go to the bother of the web cam and the press ad. is the reveal that exciting? Don't think so.
Now if you could provide an individual number or reference so everyone gets a different experience now that would be cool. I could see sales promotion agencies getting excited about that.
There's a television/Web technology company called Cellcast.tv that's been doing this for 4 years, it was used especially on their Sumo.TV broadcast channel to cover a lack of Studio space.
The console manufacturers are also thinking about this, the next logical step form Avatar's/Mii's and extending the concept of sims/Tamagotchi (re: mobile), but what Mini seem to be doing looks more like a gimmick, a step below showing people what their furniture will look like in their virtual home replica.
Due to its newness I assume it will draw in the gadget/tech freaks and curious who might not be familiar with the CNN "hologram".

Besides having a total new experience for the user, the next big step is of course to have this running on mobile phones.
Using different references/images would provide the users with different experiences, no problem in doing that.
The MINI ad can by the way be tested at: http://mini.de/webcam
Hi,
I don't get it - What's so exciting about it!
