    Social engineering for collaboration in the workplace

    I've always been interested in the sociology and science of creativity in the workplace. After being lucky enough to be part of early efforts at the National Science Foundation in 2007  to establish the creative computing program I have followed both commercial and academic efforts to understand and foster creativity in the workplace.  After the launch of Solstice and its focus on enabling collaboration in the conference room, I've become obsessed with looking at how companies foster collaboration in the conference room. Everyone, at some level, understands that creativity and collaboration are important to innovative companies ... Read More »

    Big City, Big Lights – AV Projects in Vegas and Interop

    I am back from the Interop show in Vegas and in-between press interviews, customer meetings, and haunting the showroom floor, I was able to spend a little time out in the electronic-consumer-jungle, that is Las Vegas proper.  I had a few of our partners and colleagues ask me to check out their AV projects in the area and offer comment.  Of course I agreed, I’ve always found Vegas to be an interesting and dense mix of cutting edge AV technologies that are just finding their way into practical application. Las Vegas also probably has one of the highest-density ... Read More »

    Sex, Love, and Color – the subjective nature of image quality

    Mersive is in the business of making beautiful high-fidelity displays.  In this business, it turns out that what is beautiful may be, in part, determined by your customer's sex. Over the past six years, we've been developing software that transforms a set of ordinary projectors into seamless displays composed of tens of millions of pixels.  As our engineering and science teams work on new algorithms with the objective of a perfect seamless image, I often remind them that image quality, though sometimes characterized in objective measures, is really only important at a subjective level.  In fact, aspects of how ...

    Lights, Camera, Revolution – Mersive’s Solstice software is a Best of Interop finalist in the Wireless, Mobility and BYOD Support category

    We’ve been nominated as a Best of Interop finalist.  I’ve talked with some of the folks at Interop, and it was great to learn they share our excitement about Solstice. More importantly Interop is an IT-focused conference, so they recognize Solstice for what it represents in the IT world: A revolution that will transform displays from individual hard-to-access hardware components into IT-managed infrastructure. Solstice is the first software to move what are now more than 93 trillion pixels into the managed IT landscape.  Those pixels are ... Read More »

    Apple iTV – Speculations on the Future of Media in Your Home

    There has been no shortage of speculation about the potential of an iTV entering the market later this year.  I have been following the evolution of the Apple TV box for quite a while, particularly because Solstice has been called “Apple TV on Steroids” by more than one of our customers.  Currently these two products have different focus, but the ability to efficiently stream live video from mobile devices to a television are common to both.  Some of our enterprise customers who are interested in enabling conference room collaboration have purchased Apple TVs with the hope that its ability ...
