Re: [projectvrm] Customer Commons PDEC casual salon + live streaming, maybe

You should see the “camera.” It’s a beat-up iPhone 4s with a broken screen and a non-working battery. It’s tilted a bit because it’s weighed down on the power connection side of the tripod by a heavy extension cord. 

I’m impressed at how well Periscope works, considering that I never used this device before (my cousin gave it to me as a cast-off this summer), was new to Periscope, and knew close to nothing about how to make it work. And had a heck of a time logging into Twitter (Periscope’s parent) through a screen spider-webbed with cracks. But, amazingly: success.

Okay, we’ve succeeded. It’s titled “Untitled,” and it is here:

If a livestream or virtual channel of any sort is offered, can you update us here or on Twitter?

Is there a way for Virtual VRM participants to provide our own updates?  

Here's my virtual intro / update:

Thanks to Adrian's introduction, looks like a real estate track will be added MIT's upcoming FutureCommerce Hack.

That event will enable participation online and off, and I've offered to seed participation before and after.  Eager to link to / collaborate with anyone interested in housing or real estate at VRM Day & IIW even if not there in person.

It should be better on the Monday / VRM day as museum is closed and at least more of the limited bandwidth should be free to use.

Live streaming? Pretty easy today, lots of solutions that will work on an ordinary smartphone. BUT:

Needs good network.

Computer museum wifi+network has been poor in the past. Any reason to assume it's better?

Thanks, Mary and Dean, for stepping up. Looking forward to seeing everybody there(s).

One more topic, for VRM Day: live streaming. We’ve had a number of requests for that. I’m not sure it works with one device/mic in a room that large and reverberant; but if anybody wants to take the trouble to set something up (say, with a lav mike that can be worn by the speaker of the moment, or passed around), I’m all for it. So: thoughts? Ideas?
