We have had a sneak preview of two interactive ‘games’ that are gonna blow people’s minds at #InfoComm2010 in a few weeks time; one of them in particular from Baanto is going to challenge the way that people think about interacting with screens (and it’s a lot of fun too). It’s rumoured also that Show&Tell […]

Chris Sheldrake

Making any magazine work in this day and age is a difficult one but some of our favourite magazines like Monocle show what can be done if you use the inherent qualities of print as opposed to compete with the instant news story world of online – doing the same, and making the numbers add […]

#ScreenMediaExpo – Man With Clock

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Chris Sheldrake

Many wondered what these (seemingly) daft French people were doing on their stand at #ScreenMediaExpo a week or so ago.

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Many of those who dispute our view (and remember this is just our view) of Cisco’s DMS disaster point to Cisco’s work in stadiums as an example of how and where they are getting it correct – blending as they originally intended content distribution, digital signage, VoIP, Wi-Fi, wide area and local area networking with […]

Parallel Worlds: The Asian Mindshift- The ‘New’ Tri-Media Emerges

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Manolo Almagro, Q Division Managing Partner

There’s an exciting mindshift at work in Asia. Regardless of what country you go to these days, digital agencies are preaching a new mantra of “change” that challenges the “old-guard” of traditional media (a.k.a Tri-Media- TV, Radio, Print) – albeit self-serving, these agencies are evangelizing that the ‘new’ Tri-media is now digital.
