Last night arrived pretty suddenly! We had little under a week to have all things ready for a meeting of tech platforms. Hyves (the largest social network in the netherlands) gave us access to their API. We used it to present photostreams of their users detected within the radius of our bluetooth scanners. It’s a kind of location-based service, where, with your consent, your presence triggers your lifestream via photos to be remixed with those of others in proximity to you.

The reaction of the audience was noticably more positive than previous daytime or nighttime outtings. This time the audience was engaged and they were hungry for…well…….themselves! I wander what the VJs thought as the random selection of photos was hilarious.

Kudos definately go to roomware team members for pulling this off. Also great to test Tom’s completely rewritten code.

Thanks for the photo Boris. Here’s also a screenshot:
