It is that time again...


...to post something to the blog!

Lots of happenings the past few months.  PAX East was a whirlwind and, while not financially a success, has kick-started a large number of new opportunities.

The overall reaction from those who found us in the back of the technology floor was more than positive.  We're planning our Con circuit for next year with a few new additions due to the overwhelming response from Rooster Teeth as well as several others!

Since that fateful day(s), we've been hard at work refining our design and demoing our technology.  With a few potential customers in the wings currently possessing demo equipment, we could see a turn around from low volume sales to duhn-duhn-da! middle volume sales.  Most of this I cannot talk about in detail yet, however...

I can talk about a talk I gave last week at Boston University on the emergence of affordable touch technology, the state of the home-brew community and the general nearness of ubiquitous computing.  The attendees, mind you, probably did not get nearly half of that content out of my talk.  This is primarily due to my suffering from e-x-t-r-e-m-e stage fright!  Yeah, give me a potential audience of 60 thousand and I'm fine.  A room of 6 - 20 and I'm done for.

Still the response to the talk was great.  So I must have done something right.  Today we demonstrated our technology to a couple of departments at BU who seem quite interested in what we've got.

In addition to the general push to acquire more clients and improve our offerings, I've been working on a new web-site/store for the ol' company.  The new and improved mesamundi.com is live; however, it is not really ready for prime time.

Soon! It shall be ready!

Software.  We've got a new title coming out from one of our software partners.  It is a digital version of the board game Hansa Teutonica.  I'm very excited about this title as it will constitute our first fully funded (temporarily) exclusive title for multi-touch.  Yeah!

Cards, dice, etc!  More games to come.  We're embarking on an aggressive software development phase in which we are planning to release several card, dice and table games.  I'll be revealing titles and what not as we get further along.

next up, I'll post some photos from our recent work.
