  • Description of the Project:
  • Skittles wanted to enhance the social experience of their Australian and New Zealand Facebook fans. So we created a piece of technology that allowed people to take control of physical Skittles in the real world, and seemingly move them using their mind.
    To achieve this, we built WiFi-controlled robots - to which Skittles were attached via magnets. Then we developed facial recognition technology that read users’ eye movements via their webcam, and relayed the commands directly to the robots - enabling the world to move Skittles alongside one another in real-time (without completely knowing how they were doing it).
