\"SyndCon<\/div>\n

We are back from SyndCon 2016 and what a con it was! \u00a0All of our preparations and the wonderful support of our fellow guild mates paid off in spades. \u00a0We could not have asked for results, which just further reinforces the lesson from last year, “always bring Holoseat to SyndCon.”<\/p>\n

Our activities started Friday afternoon<\/a> when Bryan and Petie (friend of Bryan and weekend long Holoseat volunteer – thanks for all the help Petie, you can come to cons with use anytime!) arrived. \u00a0Bryan had two of the three pedal sets for our demos and I had all of the electronics, so the first thing we needed to do was get the last two demo units fully assembled.<\/p>\n

Our public activities started with a panel Friday afternoon<\/a> where we presented the lessons learned over the past two years (see my previous post<\/a>) and our plans to take Holoseat to version 1.0 (that’s another blog post). \u00a0We also held a\u00a0Questions * Answers session. \u00a0The Q&A portion turned into a lively discussion and amusingly touched on every question we had in our future development survey questions. \u00a0Clearly we were asking the right questions on the survey. Our next public activity was a presentation slot in the annual guild meeting, including a live demo of Holoset by the Starr Long<\/a> in front of the entire convention. \u00a0Starr was quite impressed by the Holoseat as you can tell from the picture below. \u00a0Finally, I was\u00a0interviewed for the MOLDS episode 2<\/a>. \u00a0As you can tell, we all had a blast during the interview.<\/p>\n

On top of our scheduled public activities, we ran many, many demos. \u00a0The demos gave us a chance to get real world feedback about Holoseat (both live and through the surveys). We learned valuable lessons from the demos, some technical and some business. \u00a0The most important lesson was just how excited people are about the Holoseat. \u00a0Don’t take our word for it. \u00a0Check out people’s reactions in the video below.<\/p>\n
