Hi there,
I work at a company that does dance photography.
Currently, we have a desktop system with mutliple monitors set up to display sets of photos in each dance's folder. To preview the photos, an entry number must be requested, then we drag and drop the dance folder to the appropriate monitor, which opens a slideshow program that plays through that folder's photos in a slideshow. This isn't the ideal system.
We're looking at alternative display methods. Ideally, we would like to bring 3 or 4 handheld devices to each event, and have the user be able to browse through folders and preview photos at will.
My question is: what would be the best device for doing this? An iPhone type device, photo frame or an audio/video playing device? Key features would be the ability to run in a kiosk mode so that these devices can only view photos, and a folder browse function so that the user can look at different photosets themselves.
We would probably shrink the pictures to fit on the handheld device - and either (ideally) transmit them wirelessly, or copy them to a storage card - SD card or flash card, to use with the device.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Billy
