DJ Light Installation

DJ Light is an immersive public sound and light installation that gives visitors the power to orchestrate an awe-inspiring performance of light and sound across a large public space. It was created for energy company Endesa as the cornerstone of their Christmas celebrations in Lima, Peru

The installation consists of 85 giant globes of light, each capable of displaying millions of colours. As the “guest DJ” assumes their position on the podium, they can use their arms to point and gesture. These movements are translated in real-time into beautiful movements of light and generative sound across the space.

Foursquare Hack Unlocks Building’s Front Door - PSFK

via psfk.com

Developers Erin Sparling and Nicholas Hall have imbued mobile-social network, Foursquare, with an additional layer of utility by rigging their building’s front door so that it opens when they check-in to their apartment’s address. The duo accomplished the workaround with the help of Foursquare’s local push notification service, Alpha 2.0 API, an industrial web-enabled relay device, some speaker wire and plenty of ingenuity. On New Year’s Eve the hack will be opened to everyone, enabling party goers easy, digital access to the celebration upstairs, likely turning the affair into a must have check-in for any aspiring mayor.

Changing The Face Of Retail: iPod As Mobile Point Of Sale - PSFK

via psfk.com

The Old Navy chain of stores is testing a mobile retail software called “ZipCheck” in collaboration with Apple that will see the iPod as a handheld POS (Point of Sale). Store clerks would carry the iPod Touch which will be attached to a barcode reader and credit card scanner and can print receipts wirelessly to in-store printers or to belt-mounted mini-printers that the staff can wear. This allows any customer to avoid the billing queue by simply walking up to a store employee and have them process the transaction and check out.

Media surfaces: The Journey

This is second of two video sketches illustrating some of the ideas and principles behind Dentsu London's communications strategy Making Future Magic bit.ly/​makingfuturemagic_phil 

In "The Journey" we look at the panoply of screens and media surfaces in a train station and the possibilities that open up from seeing them slight differently. There’s no real new technology at play in any of these ideas, just different connections and flows of information being made in the background – quietly, gradually changing how screens, bits of print ephemera such as train tickets, and objects in the world can inter-relate to make someone’s journey a bit less stressful, a bit more delightful.

You can see the first film "Incidental Media" here vimeo.com/​16423199

Here, media includes messages from friends and social services, like Foursquare or Twitter, and also more functional messages from companies or services like banks or airlines alongside large traditional big 'M' Media (like broadcast or news publishing).

"You can check a person's vital signs — pulse, respiration and blood pressure — manually or by attaching sensors to the body. But a student in the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program is working on a system that could measure these health indicators just by putting a person in front of a low-cost camera such as a laptop computer's built-in webcam."

This odd little wristwatch from the 1920s was designed to help drivers get where they needed to go. Sound familiar? That's because, it's the far distant relative of today's GPS.

AR + marker based + marker less = Popcode

"The young British company, Extra Reality Ltd. (founded this June) has posted a couple of very impressive demos of its first product Popcode. With the goal of commercializing AR research done in the University of Cambridge, Popcode is a combination of marker based and marker less approaches. First the user needs to scan an easily identifiable code which causes her mobile to download a model used to register and augment a marker-less image."

Augmented City [3D]

"The architecture of the contemporary city is no longer simply about the physical space of buildings and landscape" 

 "More and more it is about the synthetic spaces created by digital information that we collect, consume and organise; an immersive interface may become as much part of the world we inhabit as the buildings around us."
