My local public transit network, the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is currently beta testing its next train arrival prediction system. Many other transit systems, including San Francisco’s MUNI tram/bus line have this feature as well.
But what’s neat, is that some businesses near my local station (Rockridge) are putting iMacs in the window of their storefronts (Maison d’Etre, pictured), or on countertops so that you can determine how fast you need to gulp down your latte before hopping on the train.
This is one of those cases that I think this is silly. You could easily hook a mac mini or such up to a big screen TV for less.
So how did they get a display like that. When I pull up the same page it doesn't look anything like that. Some programming on their part?
Great photo of the glare/reflection issue of the glossy screened iMacs.
