[January 1st, 2017]

A turn of the year brings about several traditions: publishing ‘a best of 2016-list’, saying goodbye to all things 2016 and new years’ resolutions. Although we like to think we’re a non-traditional company, we’re following suit. We have indeed issued a #bestofTIS16. At TIS HQ we’re saying goodbye to our first intern Elena and welcome Mira to the TIS family. And last but not least, we have some really cool plans for 2017 involving even more videos!

Theme | ALL
#bestofTIS16

We’re happy to share our pick of The Best of TIS 2016 — the top 12 videos in innovations that happened this year. We have reviewed all monthly themes we explored over the course of the year: from Refugees to Mobility and Health to Design — we’ve got everything covered!

TIS Picks | SHARING ECONOMY
5 best sharing videos

December has ended, so we’re moving on to a new theme. From the Sharing Economy on to Gadgets! Here’s a quick look at the 5 best videos from last month. Some awesome examples and arguments for sharing, but also a critical piece on the current state of the collaborative economy.

Theme | GADGETS
Pairing devices by touch

Carnegie Mellon University introduces CapCam, an innovative way of pairing mobile touch screen devices. No need for Bluetooth or hardware requirements such as Apple’s NFC.

Theme | GADGETS
Interact with any video screen

The Estimote Mirror is the world’s first video beacon. Plugged into any video screen, it can connect to beacons and apps to show personalized content for nearby people.

Add your own videos and maybe they will feature in the next TIS Weekly. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Simone de Bruin.
