Experiential Tech Insights, with Will Bullins
Listen now
Description
What’s the #1 thing to know about experiential technology?   How long do LED walls last? (The answer will surprise you.) Is a project done when it opens, or are growing pains normal? What happens when you use technology just to have technology? What’s an “integrator”? Is sustainability a thing in experiential tech? How? What missteps waste money, ruin the experience, and let content go stale?   Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) is joined by Will Bullins (Executive Consultant, Electrosonic) to go over six Experiential Tech Insights you’ll want to remember.   Along the way: AVIXA, a little wonking out on pixel pitch distance formulas, and of course, the Las Vegas Sphere.   Talking Points:   1. Never use technology just to have technology. 2. Be clear about your true goals. 3. Growing pains are normal, after opening. 4. Sustainability is a thing. 5. Discuss fears, budgets and timeframes openly and often. 6. Start the discussion early, even if briefly.   Guest Bio:   Will Bullins brings over ten years of creative technology design to his role as Executive Consultant. He has worked on a wide range of high-profile experiential projects which helps give him a strong blend of creativity and technical design skills. Will is passionate about human-centered design and how to use technology in a way that works best for the user. His intention is not to design technology systems for the sake of designing but rather to design a system that will help facilitate the experience the client is trying to create. To deliver that solution he recognizes it is important to develop effective partnerships with architects, experience designers, content creators, and fabricators. About MtM: Making the Museum is hosted (podcast) and written (newsletter) by Jonathan Alger.  This podcast is a project of C&G Partners | Design for Culture.
