PAX Prime 2010 (Photos)

Below are a handful of photos from PAX Prime.  This shows the table build we demoed as well as the lighting we were under.

The new table design does fantastic under bright, indirect sunlight.  The only time we encountered a real issue was when the sun was setting on Friday and we had these lovely golden rays casting patterns across my demo surface.  Interestingly, after a lot of tweaking on Friday night, we did not have a single moment on Saturday or Sunday where the performance changed due to lighting.  I did make minor adjustments to the CCV threshold value around noon, but literally, the change was from a value of 54 to 64 -- already high.

We were on Sky Bridge which meant that we were on a large bridge platform under an arch of glass and steel.  This meant great lighting for showing off hardwood furniture, and what should have been horrible lighting for an IR multitouch table.  However, the most recent version of CCV (1.4a; thanks Amit!) meant a reconfiguration of my settings.  The new settings worked so ridiculously well that I only mentioned light sensitivity as something to watch out for if you took one home.

This was our (Geek Chic) very well lit booth
Here is where the Locus sat.  Well lit, with some filtering.
Look Ma, no flash.  The natural light had me nervous at first.
On Friday, we moved the blind around to block the sunset.  We did not need do this on Saturday or Sunday after I reconfigured the sensitivity.
Unfortunately the customer facing side got a lot of glare from the Atrium overhead.  As possible I had the customers pop around for a look at what a normal view would be like.
