BETT Video

A couple of weeks ago we went to the BETT exhibition at Olympia to take a look at the new products and technology being developed for children with disabilities and also to gauge how Dream-Racer would be perceived by the specialists in the field.

Today I received an e-mail from the organisers saying they had produced a review of the event.  If you couldn’t get there yourself but would like to get a flavour for the event click on this link BETT Video.

Dream-Racer – Johns’ song

Today is a perfect day to add a new post to this blog.

Yesterday John Homer finished editing the "Dream-Racer" song he composed for us and I couldn’t wait to get it up on the site.  John sings and plays guitar and George is on synthesizer. Have a listen and let us know what you think.

January whizzed by so fast that I was left thinking what happened and what did we do.  Actually we did a lot!  Mid-month we went to the BETT exhibition and, even more relevant for us, we found the Special Needs Fringe Exhibition just across the road from BETT.  Later in the month we visited the Toy Fair 2007 to meet up with the guys at Nikko Toys and a series of other companies.

We started the CE registration work on Dream-Racer and Dream-Gamer and also got the Dream-Racer web site up and running.  Out of the blue I was contacted by Jane Lee from Dexterity with an offer to help us promote Dream-Racer to the press sponsored by her client Actinic.  These are the folks that produce the e-commerce engine, Actinic Catalog, at the heart of the Dream-Racer web site.

We also made a lot of progress with our Dream-Gamer concept.  I’ve not mentioned too much about Dream-Gamer so far but, as a reminder, it’s our concept to enable disabled children to play games on the Sony PlayStation without needing to use the standard controller.

So to end this post we would like to say a special thanks to John and George for composing and recording the Dream-Racer song.
