Google Demo Slam is a little piece of tech we put together to help people wrap their heads around all the cool/useful stuff that Google offers. It’s the perfect way to wake up after stuffing yourself with Thanksgiving turkey.

Here’s a sample of what you’ll see when you do yourself a favor and visit this thread on conceptart.org:
Scroll to the bottom of the thread for an amazing tutorial about ixlrlxi’s process.
