Check Out Microsoft’s Awesome Sydney Lightshow

Gizmodo AU


You probably don’t even know what Lightswitch is. Neither do I, really, but that doesn’t matter when Microsoft turns Sydney’s cityscape into such an awesome light show.

For those who were curious, Lightswitch is, according to Microsoft, “a simplified self-service development tool that enables you to build business applications quickly and easily for the desktop and cloud”. So now you know. [Microsoft via Delimiter]

    Very impressive. Now they just need to transfer it to Hong Kong!

    Am I stating the obvious when I call ‘Fake’? – The lights in those office buildings are florescent tubes, they don’t respond that quickly. The bad sound (complete with wind on the mic) overly bad camera work and enthusiastic audience are add-ons (a bit obvious at that).

      If microsoft paid to have the lights in the two buildings wired up do that, then one would think they installed lights that would respond faster than fluro tubes. Just saying.

    Yeah.. That’s totally fake, you’d think if Microsoft Australia organised something like this they would have acquired and distributed a better video then some dodgy touristy handycam job.

    MYTHBUSTED.

      I agree!

      Definitely a FAKE.

      That would cause some major traffic chaos!

    It’s the projection lighting.. not the lights installed in the building.
