SYLC: A Branded User-generated Content Responsive Environment Skatepark.

SYLC is a responsive environment that captures and distributes branded user-generated video content to mobile media devices and on-line. A network of button and sensor-activated, high-speed super-slow motion cameras, integrated into the skatepark architecture is connected to a kiosk that provides skaters (and BMX riders) the ability to select, manipulate and upload recorded files directly to their mobile phones, iPods or websites.
