Sony Kiosk 1
mark steiner, inc. programmed an interactivea kiosk that tells Sony’s digital \"convergence\" story in retail stores. Unlike any other company telling this story, Sony can claim its brand on every \"convergence\" item from computers to the custom software on those computers, to the digital cameras, video recorders, walkman players, mini-disk devices, and more. The content in the kiosk is, therefore, extensive and the information architecture was complex in order to make the story actually appear as simple and approachable as possible.

The 3 CD set contains 80 different digital movies, and 1.6 gig of data.
