AMAZING experience design. Talk about a display with “grab,” note the full-body double-take from passers-by.
via Design*Sponge: “I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of window displays so I was excited to see this project from Marcus Wallander at Hyper Island in Stockholm. They created this interactive window display for a street-wear clothing brand called WeSC. The idea was to have the brand and clothing interact with people as they walk past. All I can say is man I wish I could have walked by these displays. They reverse when you walk in reverse. One word: awesome. Click here for more information on the project. xo, grace”

Great installation from cinimod studios. The ball was filled with LEDs that were controlled by guests across the park. Check out the link for more info. I think the actual sculpture of this is what makes it beautiful, not the LEDs inside.
INTERACTIVE INFO-GRAPHIC
Touch interactivity plus playful info-graphics will be a big part of data consumption and understanding concepts in the future. Here are some small examples.

Market research company TNS has unveiled a mammoth survey of online behavior, involving 50,000 people in 46 countries. The company bills it as the largest-ever survey of this sort. But what’s particularly interesting is how great a job they’ve done at presenting the results — you can see them all in this great online infographic. The survey suggests that various countries have very different attitudes toward life online. Some countries, such as the U.S., view the Internet as more of a general-purpose utility. Other countries, such as those in East Asia, view the Internet as a social tool first. For example, 44% of Filipinos think social networking is the most important facet of the Internet. Just 18% of Americans agree. There are two basic ways of drilling into the charts. The first is global, and on each of four basic metrics, the chart shows how well each of the 46 countries stack up. Here, for example, we can see that 42% of people in the U.S. are “highly engaged” in online life:
In two of the basic metrics, you can get even more granular For example, here are the percentages of people in each country who rank social networking as the most important online activity:
You can also click on each country to get a detailed dashboard of all metrics in the survey:
Mousing over all the pie-charts and such brings up the relevant details. You can see, for example, how much time people spend on each online activity:
As with many an online survey, it’s unclear if the sample is particularly representative. But this is a great design, at least, in that it presents a lot of data that goes down very easily. Check it out
SHOAL
2010
Multimedia installation
Spanning across a 50 meter long corridor, 467 fish-like objects wrapped in iridescent colours and suspended from the ceiling rotate rhythmically around their own axis
to display the movements and interdependency typical to shoal of fish.
The ceiling architecture is set in motion and appears liquified changing the spatial experience of the corridor while opening up the surrounding architecture infinitely
towards Lake Ontario.
