We had three cool visitors last night from Paris France. They have been on a tour of makerspaces in the US to discuss a product they have been creating (and to learn about them for potentially creating a more vibrant maker community in Paris).
What intrigued me about their product (which is in beta), is that it is ideally suited to producing training materials. A while back @bgangwere discussed an idea he had with me where he wanted to have a tablet next to each of the machines in the machine shop, with instruction information on things like truing the vice, squaring stock, etc… It hasn’t gotten off the ground yet, but I think this product may be perfect for that purpose.
I have also heard PR @MellissaRhodes talk about preparing tour guides and such. I believe this product would also be ideal for that kind of scenario.
I mentioned these to the visitors and have invited them to join talk to answer questions when they get back home (they are flying back today). One of the things we discussed is having them via teleconference in one of the class rooms to allow interested members to interact directly with the developers.
