talking tree

Project Description
The concept behind the Talking Tree project has been developed to prove the technical and ethical capability to replace traditional outdoor media (i.e. billboards) with environment-friendly green media. The project has an ambition to become a part of sustainable urban development project and persuade advertisers to redirect tremendous spending on advertising towards green urban area development. Talking tree is a prototype of conscious advertising media enabled by augmenting nature with interactive technology.
