A few people have asked me directly or by email what I thought of Xlab this year, which made me realize I didn’t really write about the event that ran a week ago in New York. It was the fifth iteration of an event developed by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, or the less involved handle SEGD. […]
Commercial space is insanely expensive in Manhattan, so if a big box store wants to have a footprint in New York City it has to slim down the number of SKUs it has on hand and get creative with how products are marketed. One of the ways the DIY chain Lowe’s is doing that is by using interactive touch tables and walls at its two Manhattan stores – in Chelsea and on the Upper West Side. […]

Photo from Retail Touchpoints My suspicion is that the guys who specialize in outdoor displays are already all over this, but if not, they’ll be very interested in news that Starbucks is adding daylight-readable displays to some 2,400 drive-thru lanes in the United States. […]
I don’t normally write about new hires at companies because the stats show readers generally (and sometimes profoundly) don’t care, but news of one of the better known guys in the signage business getting back in the spotlight is worth some attention. […]
The French firm IntuiLab has developed and announced a version of its interactive screen tools to work with low-cost Chromeboxes and all-in-one Chromebase displays.

The virtual dressing room thing right in a retail environment escapes me a little bit (being old, male and clueless never helps), but a software company that specializes in this stuff recently showcased an interesting, very different use for the tech at a famed museum.
