Ah ha!

What do you call a sign that is more than a sign? What if a sign has motion? What about a sign you can interact with? Two words: enhanced signage. Yes, I've come up with a way to describe my thesis. My updated proposal deals with enhanced signage. I'm interested in how signs can provide more information and/or provide the information in a more engaging way. At this point I've looked at regular signage systems and motion designs. I've even found a few interactive systems that are similar to what I've described while not exactly there. These are a little more on the commercial side of things and I think I'd like to explore more of information side of things, like airport or subway schedules or routes.
