Ok, So I have already posted a link directly to IconNicholson’s site directly, but here I’ve found the same clip on YouTube. It is talking about their new interactive mirror “Social Retailing” which is simply amazing and well worth a look.
Designed for a clothes designer for a new clothing range launch at Bloomingdales in New York, it is set to chance the way we shop!
Please complete my survey about my major projection. The results will help me make my project!

Augmented Reality – This seems to be the only company that comes up when searching google for AR with trying on clothes. This is the kind of thing that I’d want to do only with 3D clothing instead.
Now this makes me want an XBox!!
This is pretty similar to what I was thinking of for my project…only without the web contact with other people. Also rather than just a static image of the outfit/item of clothing, it would actually be “attached” to the body so if the person turned, the clothing would turn with you.
Magic Mirror – Social Shopping
Enhancing the shopping experience.
Take the hassle out of shopping.
Just need a name for it now. Hmm.
…still doesn’t exist. Shit.
I really like this touch screen table top from TouchTech…There is a video trailer where Carlsberg have used the technology behind it at this link…check it out!! http://www.touchtech.se/en/
I wonder if I could make something to combine this and an interest in Africa/HIV and Aids?!?! Strange combo I know, but I went to Kenya at Xmas 2008 and met some amazing children that are surfers of the disease and was thinking of doing a skydive to raise money for them. Hmm.
Ok, so I finally got around to watching this video on TED that Alex pointed out to me during my first Minor/Major seminar.
I thought it was going to be about a digital magazine, but instead its about rescuing failing magazine with effective designs. Essentially I agree with the speak – content goes hand in hand with design – one without the other and the magazine fails.
