Working in the office of "Real Soon Now"

The "Office of Real Soon Now" is an ongoing experiment to see what it\´s like to use large-screen projection as our only computer display. We say "Real Soon Now" to contrast our experiment with the "Office of the Future", a project at the University of North Carolina that\´s building a much more sophisticated, laboratory-based environment in which multiple projectors seamlessly blend to display on most of the office surfaces. Our systems aren\´t nearly that fancy. Our idea was to experiment with systems we could build and operate within days. In our "Real Soon Now" offices, we use large-screen projection instead of conventional monitors. We\´ve been using these systems for more than a year, and we\´ll never go back.
