About this video

Description

Breakfast NY specializes in connecting the physical world to the digital one. The firm has worked with Ray-Ban to create a real-time billboard with eventgoer’s Instagram pictures and worked with Major League Baseball to create a high-tech “fan cave”. It’s the kind of work brands are thirsting for. Andrew Zolty shows you how the process for building real-world things is vastly different than traditional digital products. He explains what it takes to create products such as Points, Instaprint and the Electromagnet Dot Display and what it means to work on the ‘Internet of things’.
