Most of us would be happy to get a single video to play on our PMP without having to run it through some sort of transcoder first, but the folks at Mongoose Studio needed something more complex. They've released a video of a project that's been in the works for some time, clustering 12 iPod touchesinto a sort of bezel-riffic widescreen display. All are controlled by a master, 13th iPod that can cause them to display a clock in the interest of verifying synchronization (which is far from perfect, as you'll see in the embed below), or to trigger the playing of a movie. We're guessing that the footage must be manually split into appropriate files for each device, and we're also guessing that horrible things would happen should someone come along and re-shuffle them. But, if you have a lot of friends with iPhones and a lot of free time to prep the film, this could make for a rather interesting movie night -- until someone gets a call, that is.
" this could make for a rather interesting movie night -- until someone gets a call, that is. "
Contradictory sentence here as iPod touches don't receive calls.
However, this is cool.
I must say that I wouldn't enjoy watching a video on this form of display because of the empty spaces between the iPods.
Imagine this on the iPad.
Imagine this on the HD screen iPhone 4.
Revolutionary.
