Our team would like to give a shout out to Blake Mycoskie and his company Toms Shoes.

“What appears to be little more than a black and white advertisement in three recent German automotive magazines becomes a 3D holographic model of the Mini Cabrio through a webcam and the Mini website. Sure, it still takes a good deal of effort on the user’s part (they have to go somewhere other than the main ad to really see the ad)…”
