Architects, how could this be useful for you?
Discussion
Morning,
After I went to the Good Home Show, or whatever it was called at the NEC last year I saw so many architects stands that had drawings and pieces of 2D artwork displayed on the walls and I was amazed about how many hadn't embraced any form of technology to show off their designs. My brother, (JimiGT on here) suggested that the unit I was building at the time may be of benefit to them.
So I have now completed a working holographic projection system that allows for an image/video/cad drawing to be seen from 360 degrees that is nice and portable and I'm wondering whether Jamie was right and specifically what features a unit like this may require in order to be seen as having some benefit? Would it need to be interactive, ie: able to manipulate to hologram or would it work just as a means of cleverly displaying 3D images and being able to show the design process from beginning to end?
This is the unit on display at the Beauty UK Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky5t1XZKfK8#t=25
I'd like to know as I'm considering booking a stand at an Architectural trade show and if it's not seen as interesting for anyone then I fancy saving my pennies for somewhere else!
This really isn't a post advertising the product, I genuinely am after some feedback, I've rung a number of local architects to for feedback but I'm not featuring too highly, understandably, on their 'People to Call Back' list.
Any advice welcome!

I'm not an architect but that video does not do your product any favours at all. Because the cameraman has stood in one position the product looks no different to a TV. If you product produces a 3D hologram then have the cameraman walk around to show the projection from different angles!
You'll need to speak to the bigger architectural studios as they're more likely to be using BIM and be able to use software like that.
Worth speaking to BIM co-ordinators too as it maybe something that they'll be able to add-on to their offer.
We're using these guys on a couple of projects http://www.bimtechnologies.co.uk/

Absolutely right! Unfortunately space on that stand was at a premium!This one does move around a bit, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0x2vSw7I_g&lis...
