rAVe Rental and Staging — Volume 17, Issue 8

May 1, 2023 | Volume: 17 | Issue: 8

Hey #AVtweeps, enjoy reading Scott Tiner’s cautionary tale this month. He writes about what happened to him recently as he was in New Jersey for a layover. While in the airport, he caught on that all the signage had a warning about an emergency on it. And yet no one noticed. Was it a test? Was it an actual emergency? He said that we need to think about what human behavior tells us in any situation. What if this happened at a concert? Or during a talk at a trade show? What would be the best way to alert people of an emergency? Maybe not doing it this way.

Also hi voting is now open for the rAVe Readers’ Choice Awards. You can vote at that link!

Have a great week!

+ Design AV Based on Observed Needs and Behavior [Scott Tiner]

Because of an airline delay, we were in a rush to get to the terminal and knew where to go, so granted, we were not paying a lot of attention. Yet, something was nagging in my head as we walked through the terminal. I knew something was not right or looked different, but I didn’t put in any effort to figure out what it was. About halfway through the terminal I finally took a look at the arrival/departure board and it struck me. All the digital signage had an emergency warning on it. When I say all, I mean ALL the digital signage in the entire terminal. The pictures included here are actual pictures taken from that day.
