This engagement used a Wii balance board, midi controlled fans, cameras, audio, 18 HD displays and 10 PCs to drive the experience. I selected all of the hardware and oversaw the technical integration and deployment of this fun experience. I used to work with cave environments in the past, and can still say that I believe they are more immersive than most HMD based experiences if done well. The only problem here was that people often fell over when the skateboard started moving!<\/p>\n<p>The activation was a huge success, with a great auto generated branded take home video for participants to share with friends. If we had more room, a rear projected surface may have been preferable due to the monitor bezels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-wrappar\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lexus Ride the Slide\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/161216193?h=82fa61d47b&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\"  allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>And here is me riding the slide!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1110px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-325-1\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lexusslide.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lexusslide.mp4\">https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/lexusslide.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-327\" src=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4-952x1024.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"952\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4-952x1024.jpg 952w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4-279x300.jpg 279w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4-768x826.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/4.jpg 1445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-328\" src=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/5.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-329\" src=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6-1024x421.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"1024\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6-1024x421.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6-768x316.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kiphaynes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/6.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the fun projects that I TD&#8217;d for Spinifex was the Lexus hoverboard engagement.
