Video: Hard Rock Cafe Vegas Strip gets ginormous interactive Rock Wall

We didn’t think too much of Obscura Digital’s multi-touch hologram when we spotted it last August, but evidently the company has been working overtime in order to outfit Hard Rock’s newest cafe with a monstrous interactive video wall. Hard Rock Cafe Vegas Strip is the chain’s second venue in Sin City, but it’s far and away the one to hit if you’re a self-proclaimed nerd. Aside from having access to a number of Microsoft Surface-based installations, you’ll also spend a good bit of time navigating the Rock Wall. The 18- x 4-foot touch wall (video after the break) enables up to six guests to simultaneously surf through the outfit’s expansive memorabilia collection, with options to zoom and flick through oodles of images. Obscura claims that it just might be the world’s highest resolution interactive display available to the public, with a trio of HD projectors beaming the content from behind the glass. Not like you really needed another excuse to add one more HRC shirt / pin / glass to your collection, but feel free to express your gratitude in comments below.

The new Nokia N900 is only a week old, but it’s already being put to some interesting uses — like this nifty little video wall commissioned by Nokia at the onedotzero adventures in motion festival in London. A custom Maemo 5 app sends messages to the display, and then the phone’s accelerometer can be used to control the animation. Sure, it’s not the most super-original phone+art installation we’ve ever seen, but it’s certainly quite pretty — check the video after the break.
