Grant's Perspective on ... Epson IU-01 will be available in October, 2010.
My July 9th post talked about the Epson IU-01 demonstration at InfoComm. The IU-01 is the interactive part of the Epson BrightLink and enables any projector to become interactive.
I said that I would let everyone know when it would be available. Epson posted a news release yesterday announcing that the IU-01 will be available this October and will be priced at an estimated $599.00 USD.

Epson BrightLink Video & Review
Grant's Perspective on ... Epson BrightLink information update.
I noticed a great Projector Central review of the Epson Brightlink 450Wi.
I also like this quick video overview of the BrightLink posted on YouTube.
We have been busy hosting BrightLink demonstrations across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. They have all been well attended as people in education and training see the value of interactive projectors.

Webcast Presentations: Digital Projection, Kramer & BrightLink 450Wi
Grant's Perspective on ... Inland AV Open House Seminar Webcast
The Inland AV February 12, Open House event in Edmonton included 3 seminars that were webcast live. The presentations have been archived and are now available for on-demand viewing.
The 3 seminars are:
1 -Digital Projection Overview - Paul Gomes, Digital Projection
2 - Analog to Digital Transition and Your AV Investment - Ed Tchoi, Future Image Systems
3 - Epson BrightLink 450Wi: The New Interactive Projector - Jared Scott, Epson Canada
Click here and you will go to the webcast registration page (screen capture below). Register and you will access the webcast lobby page. Click on "watch now" (I encourage you to view with the Explorer browser and watch the Silverlight formatted presentations) and the webcast window will open. Use the index points drop down menu (bottom left hand corner of the webcast screen) to go directly to any of the 3 seminars.
The screen capture below is from the Epson BrightLink 450Wi seminar. Jared Scott, Epson Canada introduces and demonstrates the new interactive projector.
In addition to the content of the webcasts, I wanted to mention that webcasting is a service of the Inland AV Rentals department. Webcasting extends the reach of a live event offering a great ROI.

Epson BrightLink Interactive Projector at Winnipeg Open House
Grant's Perspective on ... Epson BrightLink 450Wi Best of Show.
Our Winnipeg Open House was last Friday. Glenn Corthey, Inland AV Sales Manager, reported that it was attended by a record number of people. It was great to host guests from Portage LaPrarie, Brandon, The Pas, Selkirk, as well as the Winnipeg area.
The Epson BrightLink 450Wi interactive projector garnered a lot of positive attention. I watched a few of Jared Scott's demonstrations (pictured below at the Epson booth and Inland AV Presentation Theatre) and noted that the interactivity was very smooth. In other words, the BrightLink system responded fast, no drop outs, the projected image looked great and the annotations also looked great. The double-tap (like a mouse double-click) works just like it would on a tablet PC. The pen needs to make contact with the wall to write so as long as you maintain contact on the wall, a continuous line is made, just like a real pen. The fact that you use a regular wall as the projection surface means that the active image size is flexible.
While Canadian pricing has not been announced, the cost of the interactive projector will be significantly less than a traditional interactive whiteboard and projector system.
BTW- The system comes with the 450Wi projector, mount, 2 pens, 4 rechargeable batteries and charger.

Epson BrightLink 450Wi Interactive Projector
Grant's Perspective on ... Epson's interactive projector will change the whiteboard market
Epson has just announced a new interactive projector that will radically change the educational market and I believe it!
Interactive whiteboards have become a hit with teachers helping deliver classroom content. Students love interactivity in their lessons, therefore they understand and retain the information better. Now the Epson BrightLink 450Wi can project onto a regular whiteboard or wall and perform like an interactive whiteboard but (here's the clincher) without the interactive whiteboard component.
Up to now, interactive presentations have required both an interactive whiteboard and a projector to provide the interactive functionality. Now all you need is the projector! This significantly lowers the overall purchase cost and keeps the classroom looking less cluttered (and safer).
The projector comes with an annotation pen. This pen is used by the teacher or student to electronically "mark up" the image that is on the wall as the pen communicates with the projector to make the annotation visible. The advantages of the pens are that they are more reliable and accurate than fingers. I always do a circle test by drawing a large circle and looking for drop outs. I think of the pen as the "car keys" in that they are locked in a teachers desk and brought out when needed.
The 450Wi has an ultra-short throw lens allowing it to be wall mounted just above where the image is projected eliminating annoying "shadow puppets" caused by the teacher being between the projector lens and the screen.
Epson has announced that they will be demonstrating this break-through technology in Winnipeg, January 29, 2010 and in Edmonton, February 12, 2010.
