RENCI pionero en la industria de la visualización con interfaces innovadoras
Today I flew through a digitally enhanced simulation of an ear canal, looked at 3D manipulations of static 2D images, and watched a seamless video projected simultaneously on four surrounding walls. The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) is based in North Carolina and oddly enough it was my first visit to this extremely innovative and eye-opening interactive institute. Not only did it get me excited about information visualization, it gave me tons of inspiration for the future of immersive and interactive multimedia.
Experimento Trivial Pursuit combina interactividad e innovación para promover el juego
Drop everything and go play Trivial Pursuit. No, not the old board game that is probably collecting dust in your game closet.

Currently, the women are just narrowly winning, so join in and get some Flash inspiration while playing this fun game!

Toyota launches user-submitted multimedia interface “Beyond Cars”
Less than a year after Toyota wowed the interactive community with their “Why Not? Innovation Experience” site, they have launched “Beyond Cars,” a user-submitted interactive portal allowing their audience to discuss a “better tomorrow.” Their site provides a truly engaging experience as users move around a visually stimulating interface to read, watch, and view other people’s thoughts about our future.
Dallas Cowboys Stadium: Two multimedia approaches, one story
Last week, I came across two eerily similar multimedia packages about the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. The New York Times chose a video format, allowing the user to sit back and watch the 3D animation and listen to the reporter’s synced voice-over track. On the other hand, USA Today built an interactive graphic, allowing the user to move the animation with a scrubber bar. This is a great opportunity to analyze the two and think about how the medium selected impacts the user experience.
Waterlife interactive website an inspiration for all
I came across an extremely inspirational site today that I knew would create a stir amongst the II community. Take five minutes to experience this innovative interface, Waterlife, and appreciate the possibilities with Flash. For a documentary about the water resource of the Great Lakes, I can’t imagine how much of their budget was spent on the Web site. Regardless, it helped get my creative juices flowing!
Honytonk and 31Septembre introduce interactive documentary
Two French multimedia companies, Honkytonk and 31Septembre, recently developed “Journey to the end of Coal,” an interactive Web documentary set in China.

This interaction is truly the difference between a TV and web documentary, and it is definitely worth your time to get some inspiration from this innovative presentation.
