ANN: Revolution again at Monterey Bay Aquarium

[Jeff Reynolds]

Just a quick note to let folks know Revolution is now running a  
second program in the Monterey Bay Aquarium auditorium. The new  
Program, You Otter Know (all groan together) is a staff run game show  
about Sea Otters. The show has three volunteers from the audience get  
up on the stage and answer questions about Sea Otter natural history,  
conservation, research, etc. The Revolution program is run from a  
touch screen smart podium which allows the aquarium presenter to show  
the question and answer slides as well as videos to explain the right/ 
wrong answers to the audience on the high definition screen (25' wide  
high def projection screen). Public shows should start next week.

This show joins the Revolution program, DeepLink, that has been  
running in the auditorium for the past 16 years (first Toolbook, then  
Metacard, now Revolution) that does a live presentation of deep sea  
video from ROVs in the bay broadcast back via microwave link as well  
as display HD video clips of deep sea animals and exploration equipment.

So next time you get out to Monterey, check them out! Too bad the Rev  
conference isn't in Monterey this year!

cheers,
