Gallery: Beaming Robobusiness Day 2 Meeting People

Oct. 24, 2013

One reason for going to a show, even using a telepresence device like the Beam, is to meet people.

One of the reasons to go to a technology show is to meet people. It is doable with Suitable Technologies Beam but there are some challenges. For example, how do you exchange business cards? Take a picture of course so there was a lot of that. Unfortunately it is not something that is built into the application at this point but maybe in the future. It would be handy to actually have slideshows queued up to be called at a moment's notice instead of having to share an application. I put together my info in a text editor that I kept up so it was easy to share. Definitely not the way to go though.
