Pitches with Prototypes

At this year’s Hardware Innovation Workshop, a call was put out for interested makers to promote their prototype to us in a video. From these submissions five makers were selected to pitch at HIW. Attendees voted for the idea with the best prospects and the winner presented on stage at Maker Faire. The whirlwind of prototypes and pitches was a blast. Everyone had a chance to meet the makers and see their products at the HIW Prototype Pavilion. Now it’s your turn. Below are videos from the actual Pitches with Prototypes event. Watch the videos. Who would you vote for?

Pitches with Prototypes: Lumiglass Infinity by ProtoTank

MAKEโ€™s 2013 Hardware Innovation Workshop is only days away, and we still have a few more makers to feature as part of the โ€œpitches with prototypesโ€ contest. Next up is the Lumiglass Infinity sign by ProtoTank. We have featured a few variations of edge-lit displays before, but the ProtoTank team has turned it up a notch with their unique materials and display system.
