Reinventing accessibility, Potion's interactive self-service bar at Clo, an ultra-modern wine bar in New York's Time Warner Center, gives patrons the opportunity to become their own sommelier and pour their own wine, no matter the price. Potion designed custom software, hardware, and projections to achieve Clo's goal of creating a self-curated experience for patrons. Acting as both menu and guide, the 20-foot touch-sensitive surface invites patrons to simultaneously access detailed sommelier notes, wine prices, and a map that leads them to their next personalized tasting.
Working closely with the design firm 2x4, Potion placed careful attention in the bar's overall design, integrating software and electronics to create a seamless, self-service experience. After locating their wine of choice on the interactive bar, patrons use a smart card to dispense a 3 oz pour of anything from an $8 Reisling to a $76 Chateau Mouton Rothschild from wine dispensers located around the perimeter of the space. All of the bar's electronics are mounted in the ceiling, safely away from any spills, providing patrons with a unique and unhindered experience.
This scavenger hunt will be linked through twitter. These NL taps will be hidden throughout Northern Liberties, hints will be given each day for a week. The first person to find it will receive an open bar at participating NoLibs bars.
Breheimsenteret is now in full action again after it was totally destroyed in fire in 2011. The centre was reconstructed with the original architecture, but some interior changes were made to meet new needs.
The exhibition space was enlarged and Gagarin was hired to supply new interactive solutions. We delivered three unique installations where we among other things had to cross new boundaries in terms of interaction and technique.

Location Singapore
Land area 28 hectares
Number of animals 2530
Number of species 315
The Singapore Zoo (Chinese: ?????? ; Malay: 'Taman Haiwan Singapura'; Tamil: ??????????? ????????? ????????????), formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens and commonly known locally as the Mandai Zoo, occupies 28 hectares (0.28 km?) of land on the margins of Upper Seletar Reservoir within Singapore's heavily forested central catchment area. The zoo was built at a cost of S$9m granted by the government of Singapore and opened on 23 June 1973. It is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manage the neighbouring Night Safari and the Jurong BirdPark. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.4 million visitors a year.
From the beginning, Singapore Zoo followed the modern trend of displaying animals in naturalistic, 'open' exhibits, i.e. with hidden barriers, behind moats and shrubbery etc. It also houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world. In 1977, primatologist Dr Francine Neago lived inside a cage with eighteen orangutans for six months to study their behavior and communication.

History
Hamadryas baboons by a waterfall
The conception of the Singapore Zoo dates from 1969. At the time, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) decided to use some of its land holdings around reservoirs for parks and open recreational facilities. The then Executive Chairman of PUB, Dr Ong Swee Law, set aside 88 hectares of land for the construction of a zoological garden.
In 1970, consultants and staff were hired, and in 1971, the construction of the basic 50 enclosures started. Animals were collected from dealers and donated by sponsors. The Director of the Colombo Zoo in Sri Lanka, Lyn de Alwis, was hired as a special consultant to work out problems inherent in tropical zoos.
On 23 June 1973, the Singapore Zoo opened its gates for the first time with a collection of 270 animals from over 72 species, and a staff of 130. By 1990, 1,600 animals from more than 160 species lived in social groups, housed in 65 landscaped exhibits with boundaries conceived to look as natural as possible.

Today, the zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. The moats are concealed with vegetation or dropped below the line of vision. In the case of dangerous animals which can climb very well, moat barriers are not used. Instead, these animals are housed in landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
The zoo has not expanded beyond the original 28 hectares. However, 40 hectares of secondary forest were later developed into the Night Safari. The remaining undeveloped land has been kept as wooded land. This and the waters of Upper Seletar Reservoir contribute to the Zoo, giving it a sense of natural, unrestricted space.
Among various attractions that the zoo offers,one highlight is the "Breakfast with an Orangutan" programme that allows visitors to meet and interact closely with the orangutans in the zoo, amongst which includes the famous primate matriarch Ah Meng, (died on February 8, 2008) who was an icon of the Singapore tourism industry. Animal shows, as well as token feedings coupled with live commentaries by keepers, are also the daily staple in the Singapore zoo.
Education and conservation
The Wildlife Healthcare & Research Centre was opened in March 2006 as part of the zoo's efforts in wildlife conservation. The centre further underscores Singapore Zoo and Night Safari’s commitment to conservation research, providing the infrastructure for the parks and overseas zoological partners to better execute their research programmes.
The zoo also embarked on various rescue and conservation efforts to protect wildlife.
Rides
White rhinos
The zoo also offers various modes of rides available within the premises: trams, animals, boat, pony and horse carriage rides. Additional modes of transportation which can only be rented include: strollers, wagon and wheelchairs.
Friends of the Zoo
The zoo also has a "friends of the zoo" programme, where people can sign up for a yearly pass which grants them special privileges such as:
* Free and unlimited entry to Singapore Zoo for whole year
* Free Zoo tram rides and parking
* A free quarterly "Wildlife wonders" magazine
* 10% discount at some participating retail outlets
Organizing events
Elephant show and the trainers
There are three event venues available in the zoo, Forest Lodge, Pavilion-By-the-Lake and Garden Pavilion. There are also three cocktail venues, Elephants of Asia, Tiger Trek and Treetops Trail. The Singapore Zoo also facilitates birthday parties and weddings.
Incidents
On 13 November 2008, two of three white Bengal tigers mauled a zoo cleaner to death after the man jumped into a moat surrounding their enclosure.[2]
Trivia
Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (September 2008)
* In 2002, teams of The Amazing Race 3 also came to the Singapore Zoological Gardens as part of a detour.
* Steve Irwin, the animal activist and conservationalist known as "The Crocodile Hunter", admired the Singapore Zoo greatly, adopting it as the 'sister zoo' to the Australia Zoo. He was at the Singapore Zoo in 2006 to officiate the opening of the Australian outback exhibit.
* The Singapore Zoo is the first zoo in the world to breed a polar bear in the tropics. Inuka was conceived on 26 December 1990.
Haley Lussier (10) and Isabella Privitera (10) discuss how they and their small group in Interact club will change the global environment for the better. Every Tuesday during lunch in Mrs. Dhoot's room, they meet together to examine current world issues, and in this smaller group they eventually agree that they want to aid the coastlines and gather litter. "I heard there was a lot of pollution in the ocean and a lot of garbage along the coast, and I want to help he wildlife out there" - Isabella, Interact president.

Interactive mapped projection at the mlove confestival 2010. Participants were able to use their mobile devices as magic "brushes" to interact with the installation. They could choose between three colors, green, blue and red. Green for growing the plant, blue for feeding the blossoms and red to burn it down.
