Someone asked me if I understood what was on Media Poles Site?
Here's a brief explanation of Media Pole.
Gangnam is a great example of Media Pole project. MP installed a public media boards using touch flat screen displays in the Street of Gangnam:
There are currently more than twenty-one poles along a major road near the busy Gangnam Station. The area around the Media Poles also serves as a WiFi Zone, serving free wireless Internet access.Following a media-based theme, the district set up special poles to create what officials call the "U-street," allowing "ubiquitous" access to media right on the street.
The 12 meter-tall poles allow people to search maps, read news and check transport information. These expensive media poles even provide services in English, Chinese and Japanese. People can also play games while waiting for their friends. [WOW!]
Media Poles has the following features:
- News which has a full edition of Korean newspapers
- Transportation maps
- Photomail (email postcard)
- Nurien 3D avatar game
- Casual multiplayer games
- Shopping/restaurant locator
- Digital Kaleidoscope (Flickr photo gallery)
To experience this new Tech of Gangnam Media Poles, you can get off the subway at Gangnam Station on Line 2, exit 7.
