48 hours to design and build a virtual helmet can erase the brand logos in real life, which could be better?
One time, I had also had fun counting the number of cross promotions between my home and my old office. The result gave me vertigo.
But let us, for it is not really the subject of this article. What interests us here is the amazing helmet designed by four students: Reed Rosenbluth , Jonathan Dublin , Catuklo Tom and Alex Crits-Christoph .
They have benefited from effective 48-hour hackathon to create a device capable of magically disappear all the logos of the brands in our everyday environment.
How is this possible?
Based on virtual reality, of course! To carry out their project, our four geniuses are actually fun to tinker a seven-inch screen and hang our nose with a webcam and full of printed circuits bonus. Not forgetting to add image recognition system able to detect and blur in real time any logo.
As a adblocker, then, but in real life.
