Brian Dressel gave us an under the hood review of the Respondr. Respondr is a large-scale interactive video system designed to provide an immersive experience. Beyond digital signage, most flat surfaces can be transformed: walls, floors, screens, staging, tables etc. Brian will be giving an overview of Respondr's video tracking software, real-time video analysis and it's ability to activate various games, media, and effects.



Luke Orland showed off the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) computer. He'll cover the new tech innovations that went into the design, the UI, and some of the philosophies on which the OLPC initiative is based.
