“You know how good it feels to come home to find an unexpected gift from a friend? That’s the same excitement you get every day with the KODAK PULSE Digital Frame. Now everyone can send pictures right to your frame, giving you continuous surprises. Adding your own pictures is easy too. It doesn’t slow you down with time-consuming software setups or complicated technology. It makes connecting with friends and family simple, so you’ll always have new pictures to relive and enjoy.”
Dunno about you but I reckon this could be absolutely hilarious in the right wrong hands.

Jochen Winker and Stefan Kuzaj developed three interactive examples of their principles for enhancing the immersion of data for their bachelor thesis “Experiencing Abstract Information”.

“There are four essential parts in making abstract information experiencable: information itself, relevant senses, fitting emotion and a direct reference of the presentation to the information. With our method you can not only design fitting media, but also check existing media for its potential.”
