After two years working covertly with the Telegraph Media Group on the user experience and design of their new online pay-wall and meter, we're extremely proud to see this landmark project go live. It's clearly a bold and important step by the Telegraph, that will almost certainly have a ripple effect across the rest of the publishing business. It's already receiving a great response, as is testament in this week's campaign article. We're in the process of getting a full case study together, so watch this space for more info.

Our new super dynamic Olympics tracker just made it in time and now proudly sits across the Telegraph's online destinations, mobile and tablet apps for the entire Olympics summer period...

Olympics fever has gripped the studio this month and we've got another Olympics-flavoured treat for you. Inspired by The Guardian’s commitment to releasing data to the public, we decided to run a hack-day to see what we could do with their Olympic medal database - the result is the AllofUs Medal Machine. An R&D experiment into Natural Language Processing, type a question and the machine will do its best to answer. Of course, the system isn’t perfect yet, the more it's used the more it learns, so treat it like a puppy... with kindness and patience please. www.medalmachine.com.

Our very own in-house super brain and professional northerner Chris Mullany is interviewed in this week's Campaign magazine.  Here you'll find him sharing his experience working on our latest Wave Table installation for the Mishkat Interactive Centre for Atomic and Renewable Energy in Saudi Arabia, whilst also revealing some interesting facts about potatoes.  Full article here.

Created by one of the guys in the studio, we have to say this unofficial guide to the London Olympic games is really rather good. By far the best Olympics app we've seen yet,  Go 2012 aggregates accurate schedules, medals and news information at your fingertips…and it does so with speed, efficiency and bundles and bundles of style. Well done Muldoon we’re all proud of you… we just hope this entrepreneurial venture doesn’t result in your early retirement!

We know we’ve been slack this year when it comes to updating our website – believe us, we feel terrible about it.  But with a new AllofUs website in the offing *plus* a stack of interesting new projects to keep our heads and hands full, we’ve had little time to shout about ourselves.  So in an attempt to appease everyone that’s been asking what we’ve been up to of late, we’ve attempted to summarise a few things below…

The exhibition world seems to of gone interactive mad this year…evident in the number of amazing interpretation projects coming though our doors right now….

Less mobile: more ecosystem!  The age of truly cross-platform user-experience design has finally arrived, in bucket loads…

Orlando Mathias, our director of research and development, was one of the speakers on a fun-filled panel called 'Technology and Understanding' at the Museums + Heritage show last week. He joined forces with our buddies at Casson Mann and consultant Andrew McIntyre to discuss the future of technology in museums. Interesting stuff, plus worth mentioning that the Holburne Museum in Bath, the site for one of our interactive installations coming up this year, was a Permanent Exhibition Joint Winner. Double thumbs up.

Our work for the Science Museum’s atmosphere gallery has just received an Honorable Mention at the AAM MUSE Awards in the Interpretative Interactive Installations category.

AllofUs co-founder, Art-Director and D&AD President Sanky will be talking at this year’s Adfest 2011 event.  A free ticket to the palm beaches of Phuket clearly sweetened the deal, but Sanky reassures us that he’ll also be working hard (yeah right!). Speaking in the Chocolate Room on 19 March, Sanky will be waxing lyrical how digital has grown up, and how collaboration is now part of the main stream and not just an avant garde way of working. More details here.

You can watch his valiant effort here and keep in mind the video was shot in one take – so Sanky we salute you!

Supporting our industry’s emerging talent is always high on our agenda, and this month, AllofUs R&D Director Orlando puts his money where his mouth is by getting involved with oneotzero’s cascade programme – an educational platform aiming to encourage creative collaboration across a diverse range of creative disciplines. Having spent a day coaching 60 of the UK’s brightest graduates, the ordinarily grumpy Orlando has returned a re-energised man – all that youthful exuberance has clearly done him the world of good.

Designing for the world's leading fashion & style service was never going to be an easy brief, yet we’d like to think we stepped up to the job with our slick and shiny new interface for WGSN.  Providing extensive trend and analysis data for fashion and design professionals, our role was to develop a new online identity and product interface for the service, alongside the creation of an extensive on and offline marketing campaign.  A full case study is in development but see the WGSN’s website here.

Sky's new music service goes live on 19th October, and already the hype is deafening.
