Pierre Haulot and Nike teamed up to create Virtual Park. This is a glow in the dark spray paint to create boundaries, lines, a ball that glows in the night, etc that allows a pick up game of basketball or soccer or hockey, etc to go well into the night. The paint disappears after a couple of hours and does not leave any trace. Cool.
