Text Wall gets Deployed!

Thursday afternoon, Luke and I went to our first family’s home to install the projector and computer. We gave them a quick refresher as to how the device worked. We proceeded with the actual process of installation. This involved setting up the projector stands, keystoning the projector, setting up the wireless on the mac mini, and making sure to do the safety precautions of taping cords together and slipping them into non-trip cable covers. We provided image booklets to the families as a prompt to texting messages into the site. We were delighted to see their text materialize on their wall projections.

Over the course of the last couple days, I’ve been checking on their messages remotely, and it seems to have gone over like fire! They consistently text to each other, commenting on the day, reminders to do errands, and just general chat. It’s been two days, and I’d average at least one text every 10-20 minutes. It seems like the family has taken great interest in the project, and we are pleased that both the technology works, and the motivation to use it has been consistent.
