Re: [MCN-L] Introduction

That sounds like an exciting project! We have some BrightSign hardware that
was not fully deployed (before we had my position at this institution), so
I'm looking into what we may be able to do with it now to get some more
interactives or even digital signage into our rather static exhibition. I'm
also familiar with you as Te Papa is a case study used by Dexibit. Welcome
to the list!

Re: [MCN-L] VR Vendors

[Robin White Owen]

Hi Shyam,

We here at Mediacombo are VR producers and eager to work with museums 
interested in this medium. We have been producing audio, video and interactive 
media for museums for several years. Here’s a link to a current 
project:http://www.mediacombo.net/portfolio_page/extreme-water/. I’d be happy 
to see how we can help you!

Best,

Robin
