Aarni's personal notes on design
We are surrounded by wireless networks. This art & technology project makes WiFi networks visible in an amazing, yet simple way.
"This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting."

This video demonstrates some possible screen technologies and ways to use them in real-life situations in the coming years.

In May I visited Exiformat, creator of a unique software platform for interactive exhibitions. CEO Timo Koho showed a scaled-down model of the Shanghai Expo 2010 panorama of the Finnish pavilion.
Exiformat is capable of creating very large virtual displays that ingeniously mix different presentation and interaction tehcniques into a seamless experience. Hope we'll see their system applied to other innovative exhibitions in the near future.
