the New WiiSpray / WeSpray 2010 shirts!
If someone like it we take pre-orders via email!

This next version will work without the Nintendo Wii hardware.
This means that there will be no legal or technical restrictions anymore and it will practically be compatible with most gaming consoles and PC’s. Now after 8 months testing under almost every condition and with a big target group i know what i have to improve on both hardware and software. For sure one point will be the weight – even though the weight of the current prototype is not more than the weight of a regular spray can.
If i have enough time i might improve the simulation of a real spray can’s physical characteristics.

WeSpray it self will be Opensource on the Software side!
This means everyone can be creative and write his own Software!

is one of some new powerfull tools that will advance your creative possibilities in a really tangible way! Use your images as Stencil, simply by upload to the web-interface!

Wii Spray is officially honored with the famous iF communication design award.
The submission was signed under the category »product interfaces«.

This year 377 competition entries — out of a total of 1,368 entries submitted from 24 different nations — received an iF communication design award.

The iF awards are considered to be one of the most important design awards worldwide. Being honored with the iF communication design award gives not only scores for the iF ranking, but also for the national rankings of the »PAGE« and »W&V Werben und Verkaufen«  magazines. All of the honoured submissions are to be described – in both english and german language – and depicted in the iF yearbook communication 2009 and also at the iF online exhibition. The iF yearbook is a worldwide known reference book.

Out of the pool of winners, the jury also selected 30 to receive an additional »iF gold award« honoring particularly outstanding design achievements within the scope of the competition. These 30 iF gold awards of the iF communication design award 2009, will not be announced until August 28th, the day of the official awards ceremony.
