LA 2015: Honda makes your dreams go up in smoke
Show stand features smoke-ring cannons. What’s not to like?
We do like a motor-show stand novelty, so Honda’s smoke-ring cannons quickly caught our eye. The machine has an iPad mounted on its rear. From this, you select from a number of different dream scenarios before you have to pose for a selfie.
Then you ‘fire’ the cannon which blows a smoke ring into the air with a satisfying ‘whump’ noise, and your selfie, complete with animation based on your selection of dream scenario, appears on a large LED screen.
It’s an amusing side show, but nice to see Honda thinking about entertaining the full spectrum of show-goers.
