preview of Caffeine talk

Hi all--

I've made a video tour of my interactive slides for a talk about
Caffeine, an in-browser livecoding environment I built with SqueakJS.
You can see it at [1].

thanks!

This video tour is brilliant. Very nice sound track also.

Wow. Really amazing.

(although in places it changed screens a bit fast and I had to rewind to read the full text.)

Very cool stuff! Next time I'm in Amsterdam (or you are in Berlin), I really need to try one of your VR headsets! :)

Thanks, Dave!

Thanks. Yeah, that's tricky. Others have said it lingers too long
on text. I guess I should do something about the slides that have a lot
more text than the others, but there's a lot to say. :) Aha; whenever
there's more than a few seconds of text I should put some meaningful
animated graphics demo in the background, taking more than enough time
for reading.

Thanks! Yes, and hopefully I'll get a good six-degrees-of-freedom
headset sometime soon.

thanks again,

I expect this is a hard thing to to get right.

I also found that the workspaces were going by too quickly for me to
read and digest the first time. My reaction was to replay the video a
few times, stopping to read the workspaces. That is a lot different
from my usual reaction to on-line videos, which is to get bored part
way through the video, and never watch the rest.

If your intention was to hook my interest and get me to look and
think twice, then it worked.

That was my feeling as well. I hate the long-winded explanatory videos that are common nowadays. I much prefer reading at my own pace. This video was not boring, and I think that has to do a lot with the quick pacing.
