It is not hard to imagine some of the obvious use cases that can be of benefit in hospitals and healthcare settings. The “where is it” question is posed daily more than many nurses would like! It is typical to see nurses or other healthcare practitioners look for equipment whether they are wheelchairs, IV pumps or other equipment.

New location, stunning new home for LG Art Center Seoul
LG Art Center Seoul in Magok, western Seoul, is designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. It will open on Oct. 13. [BAE JIN-HUN, LG ARTS CENTER] The LG Arts Center will reopen on Oct. 13 in a building designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. With a slightly modified name — LG Art Center Seoul — the center has twice as much space as in the GS Tower in Yeoksam-dong, southern Seoul. It has two theaters – a 1,335-seat multipurpose hall and a black box – as well as two rehearsal rooms and three function rooms to hold programs. But some fans of the old LG Arts Center aren’t happy with the fancy new digs. That’s because they are in Magok, a far western area of Seoul 10 minutes from Gimpo Airport. Fans of the old venue could make it to 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m. performances on weeknights because it was right at Yeoksam Station, a busy business district. Now they will have to go to distant Magoknaru Station on line No. 9 and the Arex. Maybe they won't be able to attend the theater on … [Read more...] about New location, stunning new home for LG Art Center Seoul
