Appendix
A note on the set-up of the Proxima projector in the Interactive
Media lab
The actual set-up and wiring of the projector in the lab was not
a feature of this evaluation. If we had asked the users to perform set-
up tasks such as check connections between projector, power, audio,
video and computer – we would never have finished the evaluation.
To be quite blunt, the set-up is a complete mess.
It should be clear from this description why none of the
connectivity issues featured in our evaluation task selection.
However, we felt that this evaluation would not be complete without
pointing out some of our own personal experience with the system
over the past three months in college.
There are regular problems that occur during lectures, which
could be avoided if a more structured approach were taken to the
connections between the projector, audio, power, computer and video
units. The pictures presented here will hopefully go some way in
illustrating this problem.
