A miniature, interactive transportation experience

Via this blog posting I learned about an interactive and socially enabled installation by Audi. Passers-by could race one of 3 miniature Audis – controlling the car via iPad. Reading this posting, I came to think about a miniature train installation at the Aarhus main station in Denmark. Below, you can see a photo of the installation – a photo I took during Christmas 2012. Reflecting on improvement possibilities of this installation at the Aarhus main station, I imagine that it would be even more exciting for kids - and adults ;-) - if they had the possibilities to control the train - and perhaps also other things such as miniature cars, miniature bicycles, lights, sound etc. - using various mobile devices that they use in their daily lives. Just an idea. Seen from an education perspective, I imagine that an initiative like this, or something similar, could help children and others - through play - to become interested / even more interested in, for example, city development.

Trust

One of the most innovative innovation communities I have come across is Innov8rs . I experience that both in terms of how technology is used and how moderation is done, Innov8rs is moving well forward. This week, Innov8rs Connect, a free online event, takes place. The first webinar, I tuned in for, focused on trust. And it certainly did not disappoint. Both the expert, Philipp Kristian Diekhoener, and the moderator, Hans Balmaekers, conducted a wonderful jam session, during which questions, ideas and knowledge ping-ponged back and forth so well that it sounded like great music in my ears. After the webinar, I was still so excited about what happened that I decided to update research I did about  Trust  some time ago.

Impressions from Ree Park in Denmark

I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.
