Setup Jam.  Realtalk has come a long way since the Realtalk-2020 calibration mode was designed.  We can now make use of lasers, Dynapads, Realtalk-connected web pages on our phones or laptops, plug-and-play displays...  Meanwhile, setup has also become more complex:  we have many cameras by default, we want to travel around, we want to light up walls, shelves, giant DNA tubes...

I can imagine a "Setup Kit", which subsumes the duties of the current calibration mode, but is also designed around getting network connectivity, positioning the projector, positioning and focusing the cameras, adjusting lighting and exposure, basically everything you need to do to get Realtalk up and running in a new place.  It would also be designed for lighting up any kind of space or object (such as a giant DNA tube), without assuming that a console can be projected on it.  

Ideally, calibration could also be more visible and directly controllable.  Currently, the nonlinear optimizer is a bit too "magical" -- a slight nudge of a calibration point can give drastic shifts, and it's not clear what's going on.  You should be able to stitch supporters by manually steering them around until they look right, etc.  Other things to think about:  autocalibration, realspace calibration in places that can't be physically reached, lens distortion correction...

It would be fun to have a Setup Jam where we talk through ideas for next-generation Realtalk setup!

Networking.  It was great to have a local router for our Realtalk machines!  We just need a better way to connect the router to the internet, ideally one that can be controlled from Realtalk itself.

For switching between wifi networks, I can imagine having a playing card for each known network (home, travel router, etc.), plus a card that acts like wifi buddy, but then generates a new card for the chosen network.

Lighting.  Like at the Stripe conference, we should assume that we can't rely on ambient lighting, and diffused mounted lights should be part of the kit.  Dynalamps should probably return to being actual lamps.  Even better if the light can be controlled from Realtalk.

I can imagine a next-generation mounting plate which incorporates lighting (as well as mirrors for more easily aiming the projection and cameras...) (as well as cable organization and strain relief...) (as well as a mirror around the projector's IR receiver so the remote control works reliably...) (as well as a water-cooled projector heatsink, sigh)
