Off the Rails Episode 91: Me and You Said the Same Thing

Recorded July 19, 2024

It’s the summer doldrums, so instead of news, Marc shares the AV experiences from his summer vacation to the House of Mouse. Oddly painted speakers, immersion breaking VR, and RF-beacon driven proximity audio broadcasts are just some of the highlights.

Then we respond to a Reddit forum post about how university AV teams are structured. Everyone is a bit different and we didn’t even get to full division organization charts. Some of us have partner teams on campus, some do it all, and some even do other teams’ jobs for them. How are you structured?

Finally, who is buying all these capturing-recording-streaming boxes and why? This concept breaks Chris’s brain and causes him to lose sleep.
