Two labs are merged to create one LUCI lab
|
It took longer than we hoped it would, but it finally came to pass that a hole between the "big LUCI lab" and the "small LUCI lab" was made. Now both sides get natural light and (hopefully) the students will see more of each other. It looks like the finish work isn't quite complete as of Thursday morning, but the messy work is pretty much done. So now we just need to use all the reconfigurable furniture and reconfigure the space. |

A digital interface which challenges the paper catalog
|
Paper catalogs are so much better for facilitating remote shopping (IMHO) than existing digital solutions for online shopping. Both of which pale in comparison to an actual retail store. However, I have to give oSkope some credit for giving me a reason to think that a digital solution might be coming. oSkope scrapes shopping sites for images and presents them in your web browser in ways that are reminiscent of the BumpTop interface. The subtle inclusion of graphs of sales rank and price hint at useful capabilities that a retail store or paper catalog can't match. Give it a try. -djp3 |
