BIG SCREENS
In today's world of media saturation, the SCREEN for presentation is the most powerful form. Of course, media in television has had the greatest impact. Few know that the first scanning device was invented and patented by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884. Every technology is based on previous experimentation and results.
The question today is, "how does a big screen impact people's lives?" What is the message of "larger than life." While it
works to project to people in distance to see, the social experience makes the subject exactly that: "Larger than Life." If this is the case, then the message becomes more important. Projection is almost a dictatorship of sorts. It is "commanding and demanding."Demanding of attention, of course. Hard to move your attention elsewhere. A person gets riveted to the sense of scale. The same can be said with architecture, painting, or any other large scale designed object. Size commands the viewer's attention.
In the instance of television, clarity of screen or resolution does not make a difference. It is more a matter of size enveloping the viewer. In a sense of surrounding, the viewer is captivated by the large sense of presence. Images flash, and they impact. It is quite a different experience to sit in front of a computer and gaze at a small YOUTUBE video in an intimate setting. That video can be projected on huge screens and have a much different end result. As with print medium, the larger something is, the more you can see details. These details tell more of the story. Less information is less story. Larger images allow for minute details to be more visible. This gives the viewer more "clues" in which to make decisions about what they are watching.
More to the point is the impact of electronic images. In this way I bow to those that have come before me enhancing and messaging the aesthetic of electronic media. Its impact has changed the perception of society. Big Screens in the United Kingdom are the new methodology of reaching the public. Dating back to 1540 the town crier would yell out, "Hear ye, Hear ye."Today the Big Screens does that in replacement, hence with visuals and better quality sound!
More over the distribution of imaging is endless. For now there are 21 screens in 21 cities. I am sure in time the numbers will grow.

WRIT LARGE: THE HANDWRITING & MORE IS ON THE WALL
THEY CALL IT 'AUGMENTED REALITY'
August 13, 2011. Shades of the hyper-reality of 'Bladerunner', and Gartel is already there, frequently shown in many urban areas. Augmented Reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to the general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified by a computer. The technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. The right information, both random and targeted, at the right place and time changes your life. The assumption that digitality and physicality are mutually exclusive is falling now as we transcend the old boundary between the two.
As you stroll, billboards and street signs will change to suit your interests. Ghostly arrows will float in the air, pointing you toward your destination. Buildings, vehicles, the apparel of those you pass, and the very fabric of the reality you perceive will all be as changeable as your wardrobe. This vision of futurists and science fiction authors like Vernor Vinge is increasingly the reality brought to us by mobile devices. The digital world surrounding us is becoming a natural experience, truly embedding digital information into the real world as a natural experience. Now they are 3-D, RealD digital stereoscopic projection technology, like you find in your local theater.
BBC just installed Big Screens in 20 cities across the UK. The London 2012 Organising Committee is a partner of the Big Screens. During 2012 the screens and the areas around them will become “Live Sites”. They will be the destination for live coverage, local content, news and events related to the Olympic and Paralympic games. These latest digital video displays measure twenty-five square meters on average, with a computer-controlled playout and audio system.
Each screen is customized to reflect life in its community with a broad range of local content, including events listings, events and partnerships with community, arts & media organizations. The Big Screens relay a combination of major broadcast events, news, sport, culture and music. There are also interactive facilities to allow the audience to text their comments, send photo-images to the screen or play interactive applications. Big screens and Jumbotron were pioneered in IMAX, Times Square, sports arenas, rock concerts casinos and cruise ships. With versatile inflatable screens, Big Screen Open Air Cinema is also here: highest quality inflatable movie screens and complete outdoor cinema systems engineered for private, commercial, and government use.
