  • Engineering Value Ep.11: Crafting Immersive Experiences by Choosing the Right Display Technology

    There are several reasons for this, including habit, budget, or not enough space.

    Alan C. Brawn, CTS, ISF, ISF-C, DSCE, DSDE. DCME, the principal of Brawn Consulting and Randy Reece, director of audiovisual sales and marketing for Draper, will discuss this and other display topics in this episode of Engineering Value.
