Meet Paolo Tosolini. He’s a blogger and podcaster in Italy.
And this? Well, this is Paolo’s idea for a “video jacket”.
Stuck for inspiration for something different to do with his iPad, Paolo thought of a way of wearing it at special events, for what he calls “guerilla marketing promotion activities”.
Which sounds to me like the modern equivalent of the sandwich man, wearing someone else’s advertisement while prowling the streets.
I predict that the iPad sandwich man will soon be a common sight in our cities, walking the streets with animated ads playing at front and rear.
Anyway, that gives me another idea.
My idea depends on the next iPad having a user-facing camera. You could set up two iPads just like Paolo has done: one on your back, and one your front. Send the image captured by the front camera to the rear iPad; and send the image captured by the rear camera to the front iPad: behold! You’ll have an iPad-shaped hole right through your body!
