MoMA Acquires “@” Symbol.
September 16th, 2010
Original post by: Cliff Kuang – Mon Mar 22, 2010 – What can I say, it seems MoMa in it’s infinite wisdom has added this historical symbol to it’s halls. Pretty interesting how simple things we see, and use each and every day, have a very rich a diverse history. See: http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2010/03/22/at-moma/
The only reason I decided to post this, is that in my opinion, it is a pretty interesting story about how a symbol/word can have a long, interesting, and diverse history. Design has many of these kinds of jewels of intricacy that make for interesting design, this is one of them. Some things in design are formed from things as simple as the need to relate a simple singular relationship. The “at” symbol does that. Every-time you see this word, you know what it means. It has several uses in the modern age, and now takes on a greater role in all of our lives. So when you see this symbol again, maybe you will not take it for granted, how much language/symbols affect/permeate our everyday life. Enjoy.

Multi-touch – Table Virtual Car – Tradeshow Exhibit
January 9th, 2010
Great application for the multi-touch tables that are coming into the tradeshow exhibit space. With the onset of music and other interactive tools we can not look at now ways to keep people in a tradeshow booth for more time. Give customers interactive tools to allow them to explore you and your brand. Move away for high impact production and move to high impact interactive. MindActive is always looking at tools to bring users and keep them engaged.

This is a great application for detail views of high-res imagery. I can see an application for this as this in medical and PHARMA tradeshows and exhibits, as well as shows that need people to linger in a tradeshow booth by captivating users and engaging them to manipulate images on their own.
