Creativity with Cinematrix

This week we haven't got an article as such but instead an example of some really funky creativity.  At Siggraph in 1991 Loren Carpenter demonstrated an interactive interface that many people could use simultaneously.  Each person was given a paddle which was red on one side and green on the other.  You pointed a side at the screen and it would register your vote.

How it was assembled and worked was quite creative in itself but the real creativity was in how this system was put to use.  Check out the video below for a demonstration.

This is a beautiful illustration of how a simple device can be used in creative ways to produce surprising outcomes.  Explore everything.  You never know where it will lead you.

You're on your way to becoming a Highly Creative Person.
