Sunday News 330 November 17th, 2024 View in browser The site Love the Work, developed by the Cannes Lions team, selects the top advertising campaigns in history and makes them available behind a paywall. Twelve YDreams projects were selected without any interference from our side-earned media at their best. Santander, Bradesco, Lego,  Coca-Cola and Vodafone landmark developments were included among them. They pioneered commercial swarm robotics, biometric alternatives to the use of bank cards, agent-based modelling, virtual reality for multi-player games, and augmented reality (AR) in retail.Two of my favorite YDreams projects did not make this list:  the 20.000 people audience game (at the time a World record) played in a Lyon square, sponsored by Orange, and a large scale application of natural interfaces; and the virtual free throwing game developed for the NBA All Star game, sponsored by Nike, and the first commercial application of depth sensing in markerless AR.All of them were projects ahead of time illustrating spatial computing (AI/AR/VR/robotics) capabilities. Advertising was the only market available then to seriously  innovate. They were developed with YDreams’ pioneer software composition framework that included all those technologies, something rare even today..
