Can't wait for 2010? Here's a number of web design trends to prepare yourself already.
Do mind the buzzwords:
Tangible personalization, unservice, rental culture, peacocking, half formal, prodependancy, not-so-tricky-picky, DIY healthcare, nostalgia marketing, crowdsourced campaign, emotionology, simpletising, exposed vulnerablity, ecopolitan, greenpliances, nomadabodes, pop-uptailing, life-swapping, DIY décor and next besting
The basic idea is that discovery is the combination of three concepts:
Discovery = Patterns + Interfaces + Descriptors
The presentation explains these concepts as they apply to human interaction. The same concepts are found in XRD, LRDD, and pretty much any discovery protocol.
The World's Biggest / Largest / Longest Multi-Touch (and evidently Multi-User) Wall seems to be installed in Nürburgring, a famous motorsport race track around the village of Nürburg, Germany The two-piece wall consists of a huge LED media facade (at the top), and a multitouch information-wall (at the bottom), and impresses by its physical size, as it totals a surface of about 425 square meters, equaling more than 6000 computer displays.
The interactive interface emerges out of 34 million pixels generated by 15 high definition projectors, supported by sound produced by 30 directional speakers. The multitouch capturing itself is based on laser technology, also called Laser Light Plane Illumination (LLP). This means more than 80 users can simultaneously get informed about news and activities around the ringworld. Now imagine the sorts of sparklines this device could display...
A simple ROI framework:
The real-time social web has changed the way we communicate giving us the tools to get and share information at a pace we have not experienced before. This has made the web the richest insight field we have ever had. How can you harness the power of the world wide wave for research, brand planning and brand engagement? What are real-time research and adaptive brand planning? And how can they help your brand stay relevant?
I love and live social media and therefore I help people and enterprises in how they can use social media in a way that adds value for them.
In the past I used to be a successful long distance swimmer who won several national championships and crossed the the IJsselmeer three times (a swim of approximately 25km).
In the present I am a social media evangelist at Capgemini, technological optimist, blogger and consultant.
