Mindstorm goes to Hollywood

High-tech interactive restaurant uWink Hollywood is the first venue in the United States to install and operate the iBar® - and it definitely won't be the last.

For this project, uWink designed the bar and Mindstorm developed the internal content that literally brings the surface to life letting uWink customers use fingers, hands and glasses to conjure up digital flora and fauna, digitally paint the surface, play a game of ping-pong and soon order food and drinks from uWink’s digital menu.

Mindstorm One of the Headline Attractions at NEXT Innovation Lab

Mindstorm was amongst the companies and inventors invited to participate in the NEXT conference in Denmark, showcasing a range of the most exciting technology developments. This year’s Nordic Exceptional Trendshop was a hail to all 'Mindblowers' - “the mental movers, thinkers and doers that manage to rock our way of thinking and doing”. The show generated a lot of awareness of Mindstorm in both the written press and national TV.

Twisted Republic

Mindstorm's project at the newly opened Bangkok nightclub 'Twisted Republic' has been reviewed by the international technology magazine 'Mondo*DR'. From the review:

"The TR bar is the first iBar® integrated into the main bar of the venue. The complex integration of bar equipment and iBar® hardware has enabled TR to have the first permanently integrated bar and, thanks to Mindstorm, TR now also has the longest iBar® in the world. Together with the amazing interactive tables TR can now claim to be up there amongst the most technologically sophisticated nightclubs in existence."

Light and Alive

Mindstorm was recently featured in the Danish magazine 'Living Design'. Some translated excerpts from the article:

"Surfaces that are able to communicate. Tables that are able to receive and send us messages. Walls that react to our movements.  Two Danes, Kenneth Siber and Thomas Jensen, are behind the multi-touch-technology company Mindstorm, which specialises in interactive products such as the iBar®."

The World's Largest iBar®

Mindstorm will commence the construction of the world's largest iBar® in Seoul, Korea in January 2008. The bar will also be uniquely shaped and have a range of completely new applications. The club is being opened by one of Korea's most famous DJ's. Mindstorm's Korean office will be making the installation happen as the first of many installations planned for next year throughout Asia.

Mindstorm on the BBC

The BBC reviews the iBar® on the well known technology show 'Click' (which is viewed by more than 200 million people) and talks to Mindstorm’s co-founding director Thomas Jensen about the new technology. They also look at the new iPod Touch and Archos mobile devices on the iBar®, and when each device is placed on the iBar® it recognises the product and displays facts and figures. See the 'Future' section for more information on developments in product recognition.

Mindstorm client wins award for iBar® stand

At the BCSC Conference & Showcase this year Centros Miller won the award for best stand in the category of newcomer, and promised to contact us again for their next event. Working with the agency Small Back Room, Mindstorm supplied the iBar® with a bespoke software application which allowed visitors to select from various projects around the UK and navigate around each project's fact files and slide shows through the surface of the bar. For the evening’s relaxed period the iBar® was switched to a fun logo effect, with spinning coasters appearing under each glass.
