Interactive surfaces continue to crop up in public spaces. Today I came across information about Sensacell, an interface system consisting of "smart" modules that can be put together to form a communication network. The system integrates non-contact sensors that can detect people and objects up to six feet away, and this sensing can occur even through glass, plastics, wood, and so forth. The sensors are capable of tracking environmental changes.
The Sensacell Corporation is led by Leo Fernekes and is often used to support interactive art and related displays in public spaces. The most recent installation is located in Manhattan and can be accessed by peop on the street.
Robert Stratton Interactive Art
According to the information on the YouTube video, the Sensacell Interactive LED Wall was created with Max/MSP/Jitter.
"The artwork by Robert Stratton entitled semiboneless transforms the storefront window into an electronic interactive canvas that senses hand movements through the window glass, allowing the viewer to interact and influence the behavior of the piece- art that begs to be touched." (YouTube description)
"The work is located at 141 East 33rd Street, on the north-east corner of Lexington Ave. and 33rd St. in Manhattan, New York. The exhibition will run from 12/14/2009 though 1/12/2010 and is viewable 24 hours day. The artwork is installed in a large storefront window of a street level retail space." (PR Web 12/17/09)

User Interface and Digital Cameras: Gizmodo's Detailed Visual Tour; PMA 2009
I just love it when someone takes the time to do a detailed review of a broad spectrum of user interfaces, with loads of comments and pics. Matt Buchanan, of Gizmodo, has done so in his recent post, Click: A Visual Tour of Camera Interfaces. Matt has a nice section dedicated to cameras with touchscreen user interfaces, with all of the touch-screen pictures in one spot. He liked the Sony camera touch screen UI the best.
I liked one of the comments to Matt's post:
"Yeah, but when will they come out with a UI that my grandmother can use on her own without calling me every d--- time she wants to know how to turn on the camera and take a picture?"
