We kicked off the New Year with an Augmented Reality mixer* at Sun’s offices last Thursday.
It was only our second mixer and surprisingly full for so early in the year.
Perhaps people just wanted to get out after being snow-bound for so long? Or
perhaps it was simply the attraction of beer & pizza?
Certainly the swiftness with which our audience tackled the beer & pizza suggests
mashup* members are not big on New Year’s resolutions 
Remember mixer* is a kind of themed networking event which starts with a
talk to inspire people and get everyone in the mood. Unfortunately Myles
Peyton (from Total Immersion) cancelled at the last minute but the more than
able Nick Brown CEO of crossplatform.tv stepped in a gave a great talk on the future
for AR along with Andrew Elia (CTO of crossplatform.tv ) who presented many
examples of their AR work.
After Nick & Andrew we had the stand-up slots.
Phil Archer – w3s
Chris Wild – retrospective
Richard Leyland – worksnug
Mark Kramer- rjdj.me
Michael Hay – Lewis PR
This was followed by the usual healthy debate fuelled by beer,
pizza and passion… except for Nick and Andrew (above) who missed out on the
pizza due to the queue of people wanting to speak with them – ah well, you can’t win them all
