The link of the morning in our office (Congrats Mike!) was Living Sasquatch – Sasquatch might be better known as Bigfoot over here.. At least I didn’t get it immediately, could just be me though!

By either printing off the footprint, or downloading it to your phone and then filming it through your webcam and the site’s built-in system you can make your own video clips of the programmable Yeti (they are Yeti, right!?). Cleverly the size of your Sasquatch can be adjusted simply by downloading bigger/smaller footprints – Sasquatch will always be to the same scale as his mark – giving you plenty of potential for encounters with friends, family or the pets… New material for Icanhascheezburger anyone?

According to Boffswana, an Australian agency and Sasquatch’s makers, the site is a first:

[...] Living Sasquatch site is the first commercial execution of Boffswana’s Releas3DTM augmented reality technology.
The ground breaking project gives you the ability to ‘mess’ with the Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Sasquatch in a whole new way by bringing him out of your computer, onto your desk!

I’m not sure I get the link between Bigfoot and jerky but then I’ve never met a Bigfoot and I’m a vegetarian so what would I know? It’s definitely exciting technology though, who knows where it could take us in a few years time? Will it replace attractions like Madame Tussauds with the winning combination of (albeit still fake) interaction with your favourite stars without the entry fee or queueing?
And if it could, whose footprint would you want?
