Microsoft’s Project Natal

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

It is no surprise that a controller-free gaming and entertainment system is already in the final stages of being released.  Coming out on the XBox 360, Project Natal is the first of it’s kind…the gaming system requires no controllers – your body is your controller.  The system functions by tracking your full body movement in 3-D and recognizing your face and facial expressions. It can even detect the change of emotion in your voice.  What sets Project Natal apart from everything else, is its ability to remember your face and voice so that you can connect to Xbox LIVE without the need to reach for a controller.

Check out the trailer for the video game below.  Also, make sure you go to www.xbox.com to see more videos with demos, consumer and celebrity videos.

Cashmere Attends NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists)

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Yes…it’s that time again…for the NABJ (National Association of Black Journalists) Annual Conference & Career Fair.  From the early morning workouts and the beautiful sights of Tampa’s beaches and Riverwalk to the adorning sessions/workshops with some of the nation’s reputable journalists and celebrities – This is truly a conference that no one should miss, regardless of career path or field.

CNN analysts Roland Martin & former NABJ National President (former Ebony/Jet Magazine VP) Brian Monroe, have tapped into the current issue of our attendees in the workforce – balanced and fair coverage of world-renowned entertainer Michael Jackson. LeBron James and Tiki Barber are just a few of our athletes/celebs that have blessed us with their presence on the topic of an upcoming documentary via Lions Gate Films called More than A Game. The movie details the life of the “Fab 5”, or simply put…LeBron James and his four best friends, that started their journey together in Akron, Ohio at a basketball camp and solidified their craft all the way through high school. The documentary started as a college project for an Ohio student. Seven years later, it is a film opening in LA, New York, and Cleveland on October 2nd. Check out the trailer below.

Lance Armstrong + Nike = STAGES

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

We all know and love Lance Armstrong and Nike’s benefit towards cancer research…which is coined by the infamous yellow “LIVESTRONG” wristbands.  Initially launched in 2003, LIVESTRONG, has raised much awareness and thousands of dollars for the foundation.  Now, Lance and Nike have come together in another great effort to launch a new campaign – STAGES, is a global art exhibition to raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer.

Over twenty renowned artists have donated their time and creativity to express the LIVESTRONG message and raise funds for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which is committed to inspiring and empowering people affected by cancer.  Shepard Fairey, Kaws, Raymond Pettibon and Damien Hurst are just to name a few.

STAGES is more than an event. It is a unique celebration of human potential inspired by Lance and dedicated to the fight against cancer.

It unites the world of art, philanthropy, and sport by bringing together some of the most renowned figures in art to produce work inspired by Lance and his fight against cancer.

The Bikes of Stages

More recently, Damien Hurts and the STAGES effort just released their latest piece of art.  The masterpiece features the Trek Madone bike with Hirst’s creative touch!

For The Good of Fashion!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Although it may seem Cashmere specifically tailors to the entertainment and technology world, we also support those who are working hard for a good cause.  That’s why we can’t get enough of Blood Heart Gang Clothing!  Blood Heart Gang is not just another clothing line or t-shirt company.  Their main goal is to educate impoverished and economically disadvantaged youths about different cultures and people that are highlighted in their apparel.

“Our scope on history is very limited and often sensationalized to foster a ‘national identity.’  The youth of today need to understand the importance of how the actions of one can influence all.”

Blood Heart Gang teaches, inspires and gives back to the planet and all of its members and happens to create earth-friendly apparel…That’s why all of us at Cashmere love and appreciate all that this brand stands for!!

Getting Interactive With Consumers

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

It’s hard to come up with new and innovative ways to marketing and/or advertise your product.  Most marketers have been searching for new ideas for campaigns and have fallen short.  But companies like Doritos and GE/Popular Science are making history.

According to Trend Central, Augmented Reality (or AR) has exploded onto the marketing scene in recent weeks.  In the simplest terms, AR combines real time images with virtual ones, to create entirely new 3D computer-generated graphics often with parts taht the consumer can control. And Popular Science and Doritos are the first companies to embrace this new way of advertising/marketing…

Popular Science Windmills

Popular Science’s AR-generated windmill cover is sure to get heads spinning. When readers hold the cover of this month’s issue up to a webcam, the computer receives a signal which then triggers a 3D scene of windmills over the actual cover – the blades even move when the reader blows on the computer’s microphone. The hope was to not only bowl over readers with articles on green technology, but to also give them an immediate visualization of the wheels in motion. Check out how the 3D cover works:

Doritos Late Night Bag Concerts

Specially marked bags of Doritos Late Night chips give snackers the power to see 3D performances by artists such as Blink-182 and Big Boi – in the palms of their hands. Once logged onto a dedicated Doritos Late Night Site the eager eater holds the specially printed symbol on the bag up to a webcam, which then initiates a virtual performance that looks as if it’s popping directly out of the package. By moving the bag’s position, the snacker can change from one artist to the other. The promotion is perfect if you are looking to combine your midnight munchies with a little extra entertainment, all without giving up your dependable laptop-in bed-combination.
