INFORMATION RADIATORS?

q  "An information radiator displays information in a place where passersby can see it… With information radiators, the passersby doesn't need to ask questions; the information simply hits them as they pass.

q  "Two characteristics are key to a good information radiator. q  The first is that the information changes over time. This

makes it worth a person's while to look at the display... q  The other characteristic is that it takes very little energy to

view the display.” q  Alistair Cockburn
