[SigCHI] Essential Reality visit, meeting, and demonstrations

[Joshua Benjamin <jebenjam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey crew, some big news!

Essential Reality is coming on Monday, December 9th. They are the 
makers of the P5 glove which we'll be using for the Gesture Music 
Interface.

We're having a personal meeting with them at 3PM in the ACM office 
(that's 1225 DCL). Then, there is an interactive demonstration at 
5:30 in 1310 DCL with free pizza.

Everyone's invited, and if you come you will be well-prepared to help 
out with our GMI EOH project. At the personal meeting, we are meeting 
with the COO/President of Essential Reality, some developers, and a 
conference call with the Senior Engineer.


Send me some feedback about what you want to talk about at the 
meeting other than what's below.

Contents of meeting, minimally:
- Go over technical specifications and capability limits.
- Perhaps go through the process of creating some sample code that 
works with an API, or what code we need to implement to get various 
functionality.
- Go over any interesting algorithms and research/studies at 
Essential Reality (grasping, gestures)
- MacWarriors will want some introduction to aid with their MacOS X driver.
- Go over what developer resources have access to and any NDA's involved.
- Feedback from our to-be-recent experience with the P5.
