Halo Experience
I’ve used several teleconference systems before to have meetings with clients all over the world. But none of them compared to the very cool experience of using the HP Halo system I enjoyed at a client this morning. This system has been available for several years, but this was my first experience using it. The picture above doesn’t do justice to 1) how easy it was to use and 2) the “real presence” feeling it provides. Even though we were talking to people in Chicago (we’re in Dallas) it felt like we were in the same room. I think part of what makes this happen is the tight control over the color and scale of each Halo room.

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model: Premiere
This made me ask, “What kinds of ‘materials’ to I design with that may be holding back innovation?”

OLPC XO-2 →
I was never really excited about the “original” XO due to it’s underwhelming UI and overly childish case. Well, the case is still likely to appeal to kids more than adults, but the (seemingly, from the small photos) more polished UI, eBook mode, smaller form factor and touchscreen interactions are resonating pretty strongly with me! Can’t wait to use one!
