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.
