The SMS Slingshot
the sms slingshot allows users to digitally send text messages onto urban facades through a slingshot-like
device. the project is the creation of vr/urban a berlin-based group that describes itself as ‘a collective of
public media inverntionistas’. through the device users can create their own augmented reality within
their city. the wooden slingshot device comes with a built-in mobile that can store messages and a laser
that can blast their message onto a nearby wall via a projector when they physically shoot the slingshot.
messages appear on the façade as colour splashes with the text inside.
