[IDEA FEATURE] Facebook/In The Now: Features Japanese F&B business model of hiring Alzheimer patients as wait staff. Celebrates differences and ‘disabilities’ as special experiences with individual patients rather than trying to ‘fix’ them. Why this is interesting: bridges gap between stigma of Alzheimer’s and “normal” functioning society in a surprising immersive in-person F&B context rather than passive exhibitions/seminars/viewing.

 

[IDEA FEATURE] Collective Efforts/Did They Help: Microsite that documents help rendered to social movements (BLM, LGBTQIA+, Covid-19 relief) by recognised millionaires/billionaires/people of large affluence. Why this is interesting: delivers and pacifies passing thoughts of netizens “hmm, I wonder how Elon Musk contributed to _____”, delivered in a fun, light-hearted, easy to digest manner.

 

[IDEA FEATURE] Sol LeWitt: App that uses AR/phone’s native motion capture settings to deliver AR experiences of a day in the life of artist Sol LeWitt and his works. Why this is interesting: Combination of native phone’s motion detection + AR + visual interface is somewhat new (?) rather than pure AR games or pure 360-degree images, etc. Provides relevant information and visual stimulation. Something to consider during COVID times?
