My name is Harry Hawk (ITP ‘93) and I am consulting with a team building out a restaurant (Summer 2014) that will have two large video screens/walls. Each one will be 20-25 feet long built from high resolution LED/LCD panels. My area of expertise is technology, community and hospitality.
Our usecase is that at times we seek to display a single program on each of the two walls; at other times we will virtualize the larger screen into multiple smaller screens showing: food porn, TV, movies, ads, menu information, real time stats related to the restaurant, Etc.
An additional usecase is to run a number of virtualized screens with sensor and/or app based user interaction components such that (for example) younger kids at a child friendly brunch could interact with a changing selection games, creative tools (drawing, Etc.) and more.
We are looking for current or recent grads for assistance in several areas:
-
help in the selection of technology, system architecture, and integration of the panels along with an interface(s) and other software/hardware technology to allow the system to function. We have identified the panels we wish to use.
-
development/deployment of interactive games and tools;ideally based on ideas already prototyped, or partly built, Etc.
-
creative programming for the screen that would be suitable for any, all or for specific day parts (kids brunch to dinner, late night, Etc.)
10% of the food & beverage (F&B) sales from this establishment will be donated to selection of charities. If you are interested in helping us, please send a resume and/or a list of portfolio pieces while indicating the area(s) where you could be of assistance..
