5. INFORMATION
RADIATORS?
q "An information radiator displays information in a place
where passersby can see it… With information radiators,
the passersby doesn't need to ask questions; the
information simply hits them as they pass.
q "Two characteristics are key to a good information
radiator.
q The first is that the information changes over time. This
makes it worth a person's while to look at the display...
q The other characteristic is that it takes very little energy to
view the display.”
