I like parties

Circles prevent collaboration, the "interaction void" in the center

• 30 seconds of introduction tapes from two views.
• circle configuration very non-interactive
• the room did not facilitate the full use of the room
• conversations between people in the room doesn't happen in the first meeting
• No agenda where others in the room could contribute
• No take away plan for people to participate in to foster the continuation of the meeting

• Blank faces - no appropriate viewing of the people in the room

• High avoidance of stares - but no reason for interaction

• Chair of the meeting; just talked - and gave information

• Some questions and answers but no discussion

• How to create a warm atmosphere for discussion from the start of meeting spaces regardless of new techologies?

• Did the new technology seem daunting to the members of the meeting so that there was no participation (even though there was no new technology at the beginning)?

• Set up for the beginning of the meeting was a debriefing?
