Same River

Giant Surface

for Microsoft Surface

The Project

“We want you to build a super-size Surface Pro tablet in Trafalgar Square. It needs to be done in 4 weeks from now."
“How big exactly?”
"Like Tom Hanks in Big. And it has to work.”
“Ah. OK."
“So that people can use it by jumping on it. Like Tom Hanks.”
“OK, perhaps we could build it – but the permissions for something like this in Trafalgar Square take around 8 weeks to process.”
“It has to work. Did I say that?"

Four Weeks Later
