George and John,

 

I just sent a message to Joe Pato asking if we might observe or participate in any tests that are going to happen with the loaner equipment the town has obtained.  I'll let you know what he says as soon as I hear back.

 

Regards,

 

-- Harry

We might want to do some testing with one, two or more trial software during a potpourri session.

Most vendors let you download free and give you a 30-day trial.

Looks pretty cool.  

 

I'm trying not to be jealous for not having discovered this...

 

Questions I have:

*	I wonder how well this works for a meeting of 30 people where the most important thing is one speaker and their technical presentation for most of the time.  
*	Is it really as smooth in choosing the right person to feature in the collection of attendees?
*	I wonder whether this sort of thing will be ubiquitous around Town or ever make it to the Community Center.

Until the Town does some more research, I think we should continue thinking about solutions built out of currently accessible parts in the conference room:

*	Two or more relatively inexpensive laptops, with a USB camera with audio on a tripod.  One camera for the speaker and one (or more) for the audience.
*	The existing output devices of video projector and sound system.
*	Basic Zoom software.

This week's Lexington Minuteman has a good article about what the Town is doing to evaluate Hybrid meetings. Worth reading.
