“iPhonebook” Art Hack is Completely Awesome

Pete Mortensen ()

Serious craft from Japan’s Mobile Art Lab in transforming the iPhone into an amazing interactive image in a children’s story book from the future. I love it. All kids should get one for Christmas.

    Just doesn’t seem that simple to me. ;) I believe it makes use of the 30 pin dock connector as apple now allows external hardware to be integrated with apps. :D

    Uhm… im not sure if anyone else noticed but it is quite obviously a video playing on the iphone’s screen, with the father figure just mimicking the tap at the correct time, I can see this because some of the taps are off time with the video, and I have been shooping things for years.
