Guestroom 2010 Installation 06.16.08

Powerslide, Prototyping — Jennifer on June 19, 2008 at 6:39 pm

Here are some photos of the Powerslide installation at Guestroom 2010, part of the HITECH convention in Austin, TX from 06.17.08-06.19.08.  Our prototype is mounted to a closet sliding door within the “Guestroom” - a temporary hotel room designed to display future products for the hospitality industry.  It turned out pretty well and we are satisfied with the results, minus a few minor hiccups - but hey, it is a prototype!

  2. this all reeks of establishment thinking. there is nothing innovative here its childrens toys. a generator that produces barely anything for doors, and play time gadgets like were invented in UK years ago. start thinking bigger.
