Hello.
How about writing an interactive demostration application which can
be set to conference booths and which with visitor could easily
check demos of applications.
The display could be a full screen window with a matrix of buttons.
Button would be labeled with the application names. When visitor
presses the button, the display changes to a possibly animated
screenshot of the application and an example audio would be
played. The application display could have a column of buttons
which can be used to change the example audio. Each example could
have its own screenshot.
The audio and the screenshot need not be entirely related.
One button could demostrate an editing feature and could have
no audio (or have some background music).
Screenshot could be, or have, an info text as well. Each different
display would be precomposed with GIMP and the like. The display
app should be as simple as possible -- also for us who would make
the content to it.
In any case, the actual applications would not be run at all.
It is important that the display app is fully working at all
of the times -- and not being idle like the real applications
would be.
Regards,
Juhana
