Did you know there is more data created in the average baseball season than there is in a manned mission to the moon? That might be true. Probably not. Either way it's a boat load of data and it's never been collected into one digestible interface. So, we created Mission Control for MLB.

Inspired from the design and components of control rooms in the early days of space flight, we created an 18-foot-long machine that serves up everything from live feeds from every ballpark to real-time wind speeds across every field. The satisfying click of the 30+ toggle switches will pull up team, stadium, league, and social data.

The press take a peek behind our dirty curtain

Engadget, AdWeek, and SparkFun swung by our office recently to take a look at the mess we make. They shot some video and asked us some deep questions. Carry on to watch us embarrass ourselves.

Reactive super-speed electromagnet dot display for Perception on TNT

For TNT's newest crime-solving show Perception we revived a sign technology of yesteryear to create an anagram-finding experience on the streets of New York. Made up of over 40,000 physical dots spinning from black to white at 15 times faster than originally designed, the screen not only reflects back a unique image of anyone walking by, but allows you to actually hear those movements thanks to its mechanical nature.

Real-time Instagram mosaics - Creating Ray-Ban images on the fly using 3,000+ concertgoer's photos

They said it wouldn’t work. Take thousands of concert attendee's photos as they are taken and build a perfect mosaic out of them. What if you don't get the right images? What if you don't get enough images? Will it just look end up looking a bit meh?

Building on our Instaprint software, we tweaked and twisted our algorithms to death until we finally cracked it. A massive Barcelona-based music festival later, Ray-Ban reaped the rewards of being the first to see it all come to life.

Instaprint is up for backing on Kickstarter

Instaprint is up for backing on Kickstarter

One year and several thousand email requests later, we're incredibly excited (and a tad nervous) to announce that we've put Instaprint (the location based photo booth for Instagram) up for backing on Kickstarter (the site that allows people to fund projects they believe in). We hope you'll help us!

UPDATE: After a solid quarter-of-a-million-dollar effort, we sadly report that full funding was not reached. That said, all is not lost. Effort has now shifted to widening the breadth of our rental model, which should see significant upgrades in the next few months. More soon...
