Turns out that technology isn&#8217;t up to the task yet, so we had to downscale what we had in mind. What we were going to do was have my computer live-streaming what I was drawing, using a Google Hangout and YouTube. The test worked well in Joburg. But when we got to the venue, with zillions of people all taxing the available bandwidth, we found that I couldn&#8217;t stream anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>It would&#8217;ve been a real coup to crack that. Cos it would&#8217;ve meant people in the audience could see my interpretations on their mobile devices as the talks were happening. And people not able to be there would have had a sort of proxy-presence.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping bandwidth grows exponentially in South Africa. Live streaming is one of the things we need to embrace in events. I&#8217;m keen to try the live streaming option with other clients. I reckon that a venue that has a fast ADSL line, and a contained audience, would be an ideal candidate. Probably a multi-national corporation, where part of the team are at a conference, and others can&#8217;t make it in person, would be the right mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of February, I was privileged to attend the Design Indaba Conference 2014 in Cape Town.
