We were just having a chat about this and I thought I'd share - Arup got commissioned to design an interactive ticker for an office building to keep all of it's staff informed about current office and staff conditions.
We'd like to see stuff like "Current typefaces in use", "current stereo volume", "client hostility level", etc...
What would you like to see?

that looks pretty ace, might be a little distracting. maybe not after a couple of mins i guess.
where do you intend to put it?

eh... it looks nice an' all but i don't see the point/use of it. more style over function, i think.

oh great! even designweek website uses that lightbox thing!

Cool idea typographic and icons, but way too distracting for an office. I would ditch the side scroll and do some kind of flip in, where a set of information is displayed for 10 seconds or so, and then it rotates around to another set.
All that scrolling is quite hard to read... and you have to sit there and stare at it waiting for the thing to appear to read it.

I agree, the scrolling makes it tough to read at times, especially the smaller text on the bottom. It may need a jacked up frame rate, or like ldww says, take out the scrolling and make the content rotate within the frame.

I like it.
I would have to agree with ldww about having to sit and wait in order to read. Maybe a way to allow the viewer to manually control it?

I like it, but the bottom info is scrolling too fast to read and the difference in speed between the top and bottom is a bit vertigo-inducing.

What you should have is a continuous video stream of the boss's office. See if the fucker's in there doing anything besides picking his nose, and drinking champagne with a couple of hookers.
