HP Labs held a press event in Palo Alto a month ago on March 6 to talk about our new organization and the focus on fewer, larger impact projects. Part of the day was a demonstration event called Experience Zone - an opportunity for the reporters and analysts to view and interact with HP Labs research in a simulated real-world environment.  Snapfish Lab was one of the 16 demonstrations in this event - being situated in a home/office type environment. 

Our main demonstration was the poster creator application.  We set up three laptops to allow folks to get some hands-on experience with creating posters.  We also created a special build of the software to allow the poster to be printed at a local printer, so our demo visitors can take their new creations home with them!

I took a few photos for this event, so I thought I'd share them in a photoblog type format for this entry...

This was actually taken the day before, on March 5, the set up day. This is back in the office with (starting at the left) Peng, Eamonn, and Brian with all the equipment loaded on the cart ready to take down to the Building 20 auditorium where the event is held.





Also on set-up day...  Peng and Eamonn hard at work getting the server configured for the demo.





Here are Brian, Eamonn, and Peng during the event explaining Snapfish Lab to our many visitors.



Our CEO Mark Hurd gave an opening remark to kick off the event for the reporters and analysts.  Between the end of his remarks and when they opened up the exhibits to the visitors, Mark came by for a brief tour of Experience Zone.  He stopped by our area and Peng gave him a quick 30 second whirlwind tour of Snapfish Lab...
