When Google ran their 2017 Partners Masterclass their theme was ‘Spread Your Wings’, so we pieced together a soaring installation that gave attendees a chance to realise everyone’s greatest dream: a brunch date with the cast of Seinfeld, in character.
Using Microsoft Kinects, we did some tricky shit & mapped skeletons & arm joints & then attached a set of legit programmatic wings, which mirrored their movements.
Over 1,000 lucky ducks spread their wings, hit the skies & took great selfies for Instagram.
We’ve still got a set at Grumps HQ that we bust out on Friday afternoon beers, if ever you want to come by for an Angry Birds sesh.
