Virtual Vodka Visuals

The Absolut Blank App Converts Your World into a Colorful Canvas

— October 7, 2011 — Lifestyle
It may be suggested that you be of legal age to download the new Absolut Blank app, but this virtual vodka art accessory does not actually require any alcoholic consumption.

The app is a part of a creative movement being launched with the Absolut Blank campaign that allows consumers to take part in making designs for their usually clear and iconic glass bottles. When holding your smart phone up to any of your surroundings, the app will transform into trippy geometric visuals in the color patterns of the object you are focused on and completes the piece with complementing sounds.

The more 'inspiration' you feed the interactive app, the more the picture will evolve until you feel it's fit for a plain bottle that you can then share via Facebook or in the Absolut Blank app online gallery. Ultimately, you are encouraged to mix drinking, downloading and designing!
