SEL

Already his­tory, but mile­stones in event com­mu­nic­a­tion were the pro­duc­tions for SEL, which were also awar­ded appro­pri­ate prizes.

Trade-fair
Tower of Com­mu­nic­a­tion: 11 meter high object with light­ing sys­tem, 32 mon­it­ors and 48 slide pro­ject­ors was cre­ated for a trade fair stand. The mul­ti­me­dia show presen­ted the divi­sions. The seg­ments could be con­trolled inter­act­ively by the vis­it­or via com­puter.

POI / Point of Inform­a­tion
Five POI sys­tems with touch­screens, dis­trib­uted at two exhib­i­tion stands, net­worked via fiber optic cables, con­nec­ted to an inform­a­tion cen­ter. The product inform­a­tion was linked to an ori­ent­a­tion sys­tem. Inter­ested applic­ants (stu­dents) could enter their data. The “Live Inform­a­tion” but­ton led to a video tele­phone con­nec­tion with the inform­a­tion cen­ter of the exhib­i­tion stand in TV stu­dio qual­ity. That does­n’t sound unusu­al today, but in 1984 it was a sen­sa­tion.
