International Dance Party in a Box = Infinite Party Loop

gizmodo.com — The International Dance Party looks like an unassuming flight box. But as soon as its radar detects people dancing, its motorized face drops to reveal lights, fog, ground effects, a disco ball, and two speakers running 600 watts of the world's best unfiltered Eurohouse and other assorted Electro Boogie.

  • popnwave, on 03/26/2008, -1/+24Oontz oontz oontz oontz! That would definitely stop a few people in their tracks.... not sure if they would dance or laugh though!
  • DeadFox1, on 03/26/2008, -0/+21When they opened it up, was I the only one expecting to see a midget in there?
  • mrwhitethc, on 03/26/2008, -0/+17This is what the iPod dreams of while it sleeps in your car.
  • bosssmiley, on 03/26/2008, -2/+17"...600 watts of the world's best unfiltered Eurohouse..." - That's a threat, not a promise! :-p
  • burnin8r28, on 03/26/2008, -0/+14when you get enough people dancing, it releases a black hole.
  • zantos420, on 03/26/2008, -0/+12dugg for use of word 'oontz'
  • Wisgary, on 03/26/2008, -0/+11Interesting, but the people who danced in the "demo" clips could also easily be confused with anything from sloths, to drunk nerds playing DDR.
  • jaxter2010, on 06/17/2009, -1/+11Wow. I bet diggers dance like the people in that video.
  • BLAM8, on 03/26/2008, -1/+9The Thing that is amazing is that this is actually for sale. I think they need to put it into production as a sony product.
  • logicalriot, on 03/26/2008, -0/+8It's simple, to start the party, dance.

    DANCE!
  • goro, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7that would make the greatest alarm clock.
  • withoutamartyr, on 03/26/2008, -2/+8I'd put this in my room for when I get bored.

    Yes, I'm the guy at clubs who dances alone.
  • WoollyMittens, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6So in order to start the party you have to start dancing without music until that thing kicks in?
  • burnin8r28, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6it looks like something out of the sims
  • NinjaBoy, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Me too, The way i see it, if I'm the only one dancing that by default makes me the best dancer there right?
  • LostRiot, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5who likes to rock the party.....interantionaldanceparty likes to rock the party.
  • Chiproller, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5I don't like it, It knows too much.
  • lastword2, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5europe: 50hz
  • ohbugger, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4How on earth does this thing magically suck the light from the room?
  • thashiz, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3Interfaces via RS232? Weird..
  • Ikulus, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3My first thought is it didn't take much to get the machine going at full power. They had like four people dancing and two hugging the wall.

    My second thought is... why?
  • polishdude06, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3"...it means in America it changes 60 times per second its polarity."
    so what, does 110v alternating current change it's polarity at a different rate in other countries?
    although it's not like it really matters or even pertains to this topic anyway...
  • vikingboy, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3haha me too
  • buddamus, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3A midget in 70's disco stuff.

  • luchid, on 03/26/2008, -2/+4Why? Do you enjoy rootkits and proprietary formats?
  • spudnic, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Hardcore party's what?
  • royrobotiks, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2any small body movement will start the machine. - but to get it freaking out, you'll have to dance.
  • supermanred, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2STOP IT! International Dance Party is an integral part of Skynet. In Terminator, it was a chess computer, and when this detail emerged in our fiction Skynet switched it to International Dance Party. At some point these things are going to scream out "Seek....Locate... EXTERMINATE!!!"
  • atomicwedgie, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Narrator needs to keep his day job but otherwise this has awesome potential as a mobile platform if your name is Hanz and you can bench 500lbs.
  • doktorzee, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Maybe then I'd wake up on time
  • bakagaigin, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Max/MSP FTW!

  • jcani, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1I want one !!1
  • JustinHopewell, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1The dude said that when dance levels reach maximum intensity, the fog machine starts.

    So, according to the footage I saw, maximum dance intensity is when one guy dances directly in front of the sensor while everyone else stands around. Maybe I can dance after all!
