... Figure.1.1 Heliodisplay. Current technologies attempt to create the visual perception of a free-floating image through the manipulation of depth cues generated from two-dimensional data employing well-established techniques. A few examples of these include stereoscopic imaging via shutter or polarized glasses, as well as auto-stereoscopic technologies composed of lenticular screens directing light from a conventional display, or real-imaging devices utilizing concave mirror arrangements. All of these technologies suffer convergence and accommodation limitations. In order to resolve this visual limitation, the image and its perceived location must coincide spatially. A well-established method solving this constraint is by projection onto an invisible surface that inherently possesses a true spatially perceived image location; yet prior art method s rendered poor image fidelity. In late 2003, a small company from the San Francisco Bay Area demonstrated a unique revolutionary display technology. The (then) prototype device projected an image in thin air just above it, creating an illusion of a floating hologram. The development of this...

...and very fun, creative displays. Retailers get more and more creative as time goes on. Store windows aren’t the only place where a store can show off its clothing and great ideas. Little setups all over the store and in the front window can keep customers interested in the retailer’s wares. The best way to do this is to have fun and kitschy themes for displays, full of oversized imagery, scenic backdrops, and saturated and whitened bright colors. Whimsical displays are becoming more popular as well. Having soft, pastel hues mixed with other bright colors and white, powdery, matte surfaces, using objects like pinwheels or streamers to evoke childhood memories. Usually the clothing in the displays are matched with the background/imagery to make for an even more finished look. Big impact visualizations is another trend, usually having huge backdrops or posters to covey the theme of the display. It’s meant to be the first thing noticed when walking into the store. A customer may find “…endcaps presenting artfully curated product selections that entice [them] to touch and feel the merchandise. [They] may find a bevy of color-coordinated and themed merchandising messages on signage and graphics throughout the aisles.” (designretailonline). These displays make a statement about the store as a whole. They can make or break whether a customer likes what they see when they come in. For the lighting in the store, color can influence someone’s impression of the display and the stores appearance...

...What’s new in warehousing…….. “Voice Directed Picking (VDP)” * It is a system in which a picker uses a headphone and microphone attached to his belt. * This type of system involves conversion of voice into data and vice versa. * Firstly the main system sends the data which is converted into voice signals which is received by the picker regarding what to do , where to go and what amount to pick . * After this picker again send voice signals which are converted into data and verified by system which ensures there are no errors. “Pick to Light (PTL) “ * It is a display device which is helpful in picking.” * If an order is to be picked the main computer sends data to the PTL computer which displays how much to pick and it displays light for each item that is to be picked. * The picker then press all the buttons illuminating lights. If the order is correct a green light is displayed otherwise a red one which shows there is an error. * As buttons are pressed there is an exchange of information between data server and the main system.” Amazon’s robotic shelves * Amazon’s new warehouses are the perfect example of man and machine working together. * In the warehouses when earlier manual labour used to walk around the warehouse and move the shelves from one place to another but now these shelves moves automatically . * This is a big leap in warehousing technology which has increased the productivity and reduced the cost. * Earlier first shelves...

...sales and brand share. Method Nielson Scantrack collected the sales and store display data for 32 areas of sales for June 2012. The data show the sales and percent of store displays of frozen spinach for both our brand and our top competitor, DelMonte. The advertising expenditure data for our brand was taken from company records. The analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between sales of our brand and DelMonte’s under certain variables such as increased ad spending and increased percentage of store displays. Key Findings The promotional activity of our brand has mixed results in terms of brand sales. Our store displays have the strongest positive relationship with Brand Sales of the promotional activity. More displays in a sales area results in higher sales. On the other hand, our advertising expenditures do not have an apparent relationship with brand sales. Lastly, percentage of competitor displays has a negative relationship with brand sales. The more displays a competitor has in a sales area, the less sales our brand makes. Recommendations Because of its low correlation with sales, our brand should cut advertising spending. Put more effort and resources into creating store displays because its relationship with sales is higher and more positive. If we can produce more displays, that will reduce the opportunity for our competitor to use store displays against our brand. Detailed Findings Relationship of Ad Spending and...

...the large dinosaurs. My first thought was I am in the wrong museum. I assumed that the museum was going to focus on prehistoric events because on the first floor all they display is dinosaurs, monkeys and other mammals. The Natural History museum mainly focuses on prehistoric animals and early civilization of the Native Americans from the 1600’s to 1800’s. The museum displayed photographs and clay figures that showed us how people would look and dress during that period of time. I also learned some stuff about the Natives, the Spaniards and about some new inventions that happen during the 1600’s through the 1800’s. I walked around the for a while and then I arrived to level G. Level G focused more on American history and California history. One event that the museum displays is an ad titled “Reduction in Rates”. The ad was about the pacific mail steamship. The ad displayed the different prices people would pay in order to ride the ship. The prices varied from where you wanted to ride. The cost to ride in the cabin was five dollars and to ride in the storage you would pay three dollars. There was also a map from December 6, 1869, which belonged to the southern pacific railroads. The focused my attention on the early civilization because it links more to the discussions that we have in class. The museum displays many objects that shows us how new inventions helped make people’s lives easier. This relates to what we talked about in class because it has to do with the transportation...

...because the client did not have the luxury of gutting it and beginning fresh. The double-height ceilings required them to develop hanging lighting fixtures to activate the space. Square or rectilinear tables were either too big to allow customers to pass through the store or too small to accommodate the large number groupings of product desired by the client. Given the constraints, The LADG experimented with water filled ice bags – reminiscent of those used by British nurses to sooth the fever of an ailing patient in a 1950′s film. They observed how the bags slumped, folded and wallowed around obstacles. The displays were designed to imitate the posture of ice bags in order to navigate through difficult fits between columns and oddly planned corners. The pragmatic problems served as a point of entry to design. They drew parallels between the large display “pods” and the anatomy of fruit. Take the strawberry as an example. The exterior gives little clue to the structural...

...Electronic Paper For a thin and bendable display, Fabric PCs will rely on a cutting-edge technology called e-paper, or electronic paper. The technology behind e-paper was pioneered in the 1970s by Nick Sheridan at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and has continued to evolve since that time. Today there are several different implementations of the basic e-paper concept. One example of e-paper technology is called E ink, made by the E ink Corporation. We'll very briefly touch here on how E Ink technology works, but to learn much more about it, read How Electronic Ink Works. Basically, this form of e-paper is created by sandwiching millions of tiny plastic wells between two sheets of flexible plastic. Each well contains both white and black particles, suspended within a clear fluid. The key to this technology is that the white and black particles have opposite charges, so when an electric voltage is applied to individual wells -- through circuitry embedded underneath -- the black and white particles can be separated to opposite sides. In this way, the face-up side of each well can be set to appear either as black or white as seen through the top layer of clear plastic. Each well functions as a separate pixel on the E ink display. E-paper, based on this type of design, can be curled or even folded like a sheet of laminated paper, and because of its light weight and flexibility it's also much less fragile than traditional displays. Fujitsu's Fabric PC concept designs take...
