Little Printer | BERG Cloud

I will never forget moving to Brooklyn 15 years ago, long before it became the land of bushy-bearded hipsters. My wife and I spent our first night walking around the super-sized suburban grocery store at the end of our block like creatures from a different planet. The market contained wide aisles that you would never find in Manhattan as well as an eclectic cross-section of foods that reflect our polyglot Park Slope neighborhood, from Caribbean to Kosher. And you could check out with the simple swipe of a debit card. Today that same checkout terminal has four different forms of input: in addition to the "swipe" there is a stylus, touchscreen, and keypad, each of which must be used in sequence to buy a quart of milk. They have recently added self-service checkout stations and parking meters that bristle with an even richer set of input mechanisms, from bar code readers to pressure sensors. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1665022/why-does-interaction-design-matter-lets-look-at-the-evolving-credit-card-swipe

This new campaign site out of Stockholm for Jade Jagger & Indiska (fashion retailer) is another example of the “virtual dressing room” augmented reality engine but also takes it a little further by providing an interactive video experience around the models showcasing the garments before you enter the virtual dressing room. The site was created by digital agency Tewonder . Be Sociable, Share!

“Manual Deskterity” (Microsoft )

Microsoft Research’s “Manual Deskterity” explores the synergy of pen & touch Pen and touch computing have long-thought to be mutually exclusive methods of human-computer interaction, but as the Microsoft Research project “Manual Deskterity” shows, the two intuitively combined makes for a much powerful input method than each of them might ever be on their own. If you’re short on time, the real soul of the demo – a custom application for the Microsoft Surface with a special infrared pen – starts at the 1 minute mark and shows off capabilities that either wouldn’t be practical or possible at all by either pen or touch alone.
