Thanks to fandangled new technology, Sydney’s Lost Valentinos can now magically appear in the palm of your hands.
In what’s been dubbed the world’s first “interactive Augmented Reality music video”, users can create holograms of the band performing their new single ‘Nightmoves’ basically anywhere – from lead singer Nik belting out the song atop some dude’s hairy nipples to the whole band playing in outer space.
Here’s how it works: simply head over to the band’s website, click “creator”, download and print out a special marker, switch on your webcam and voila, a Valentino pulling sex faces in your rumpus room. Prefer to watch? Head to the “spectator” section and check out some user-created vids including one smart cookie who put the band on his iPhone.
The project was conceived by etcetc and developed over the past few months by web developers Crucial By Design and video production crew Pedestrian. As for the single, it's lifted from the band's debut album Cities Of Gold.
