Lecterns And Panel Discussions MicroTile’d

We have already seen a so called Christie ‘News Desk’ at this year’s #NABShow ^[1] – designed and produced by Christie Digital themselves as a demonstration of what can be done with MicroTiles ^[2] and at the time we made mention “It’s not just desks that can be made more interactive of course – think speaker podiums, lecterns etc. AND what a great place to run your Twitterfall” but just see what we have here…

^[3]

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectern ^[4]…

A lectern (from the Latin lectus, past participle of legere, “to read”) is a reading desk with a slanted top, usually placed on a stand or affixed to a some other form of support, on which documents or books are placed as support for reading aloud, as in a scripture reading, lecture, or sermon.

^[5]

From en.wiktionary.org/wiki/panel_discussion ^[6]

A conversation about a specific topic conducted by a group of experts, usually either in the presence of an audience or in a broadcast (or both)

^[3]

Look carefully at the all three pictures, taken last week in Islington, London at an exhibition for event organisers (with no people in the shots the perspective can be a little disorienting).

Bottom line what we have is some tremendous ‘furniture’ innovation from Aztec Event Services Ltd ^[7] who only a month or so ago took delivery of 70+ MicroTiles.

The lectern on the right hand side of the photographs comprises two x MicroTiles one on top of each other. The panel discussion desk (note the microphones on both pieces of furniture) is made up of 4 x MicroTiles next to each other.
