National Retail Federation Conference
January 24, 2007 by Duncan | permalink
The Arup Foresight Innovation and Incubation team was invited to exhibit in a Design Studio at the National Retail Federation Convention & Expo (12th-14th Jan). The emphasis of the three-day studio programme was to raise awareness of the importance of design in retail.
Arup presence included an exhibit in the design studio reflecting our Songdo, Prada and Wal-Mart retail projects, an interactive Drivers of Change application surveying delegates opinion on what may drive change in the future of retail and Chris Luebkeman's keynote presentation to 2000+ delegates on "The future is over-sold and under-imagined"
The event at the Jacob K Javits Convention Center, New York City, is the biggest retail convention of its kind, all the big players in retail were there, from IBM, through Google, to Microsoft. The organisers of the event are very keen to see more input from design firms working in retail in future events.

January 10, 2007 by Duncan | permalink
Met with guys from Path Intelligence today. They are aiming at the holy grail of being able to track people in retail spaces without any kind of intervention being required (e.g. people wearing tags). They are using mobile phones as the tag (penetration in the UK is over 100%!!) and are measuring signal strength from radio beacons set-up around the venue. The volumes of data collected present some interesting data visualisation problems...

Nice example of an interactive facade and building as a device that can be altered by the public. What makes this different from other similar projects is the fact that you can interact with the building *screen* via a kiosk. A distant camera then takes a picture of your artwork and emails it to you. Visit the site to see what images others created.
