Even if you're not a math person, Meijer Math makes sense.

Jingle Jamz was a magical digital out of home experience that left children and adults alike amazed, stunned or just grinning ear to ear.

Jingle Jamz was a magical digital out of home experience that left children and adults alike amazed, stunned or just grinning ear to ear.

The idea was simple: spread heaping amounts of holiday cheer to our neighbors at the Historical American Tobacco Campus and to downtown Durham, N.C.

So naturally we built a singing robot that let users conduct and manipulate classic holiday songs with their hands.

Users who stepped up onto the brightly LED-lit vinyl mat raised or lowered their hands over icons. Icons like: Tempo (speed it up or slow it down); Silly (insert wacky sound effects here); Echo (add a French Alps inspired echo) or Retro (enter the stylings of a 1920’s Victrola) to the main holiday track.

How’d we do it? Well, machine an old coffee table into a 16 inch cube, fill it with electronics, mount an old surround sound system to the exterior, hang it 14 feet in the air and sprinkle with technology magic. Apply holiday cheer to taste and enjoy!
