Interesting, Paul. Have you (or anyone else on ag-tech) any experience of putting this into an existing lecture room that already has standard mic and speakers used for lectures, as well as a PC?
Context is our planned rollout of several insors personal nodes in locations that may include existing lecture/seminar rooms. Buying a separate echo-cancelling microphone is an option but it sort-of feels messy if an audio system is already in there, and securing it may also be a problem. Any advice welcome. How about fixing an AG meeting sometime to discuss this between anyone who is interested? It seems to have sparked a lot of interest on ag-tech and we might as well use the technology to share ideas and experience, after all.
