In Scott Tiner’s latest column, he writes a tale of walking through the airport. But this isn’t just any airport stroll. Imagine walking through and minding your own business when upon all the signage, you notice emergency warnings. What would you do? Tiner mentions that everyone in the airport continued on their way, not caring at all. Is this a good use of AV, and was this adequately thought out? If it was simply a test, what could this airport have done better? Read more here.

+ Design AV Based on Observed Needs and Behavior [Scott Tiner]

Because of an airline delay, we were in a rush to get to the terminal and knew where to go, so granted, we were not paying a lot of attention. Yet, something was nagging in my head as we walked through the terminal. I knew something was not right or looked different, but I didn’t put in any effort to figure out what it was. About halfway through the terminal I finally took a look at the arrival/departure board and it struck me. All the digital signage had an emergency warning on it. When I say all, I mean ALL the digital signage in the entire terminal. The pictures included here are actual pictures taken from that day.
