Epson's half-globe display uses only three projectors to fill a room with mirrored image.
1. All Things Techie Podcast episode 113 is a roundup of ISE 2025 at the FIRA in Barcelona. 2. Justin Dawson appears as host and field reporter, while Mike Blackman, Neville Bounds from Biamp, Jay Lyons from Logitech, and DisplayNote staff matter because they anchor the episode's booth tours and industry interviews. 3. The episode is for listeners who want a floor-level summary of what Justin saw across two days at ISE 2025. 4. Justin says he was at ISE for a shorter time this year because he had to get back to personal projects in Ireland. 5. The opening mentions the 21st year of Integrated Systems Europe and the FIRA in Barcelona as the setting for the roundup. 6. Justin begins with an early Tuesday walk above Hall 3 and Hall 4 after Mike Blackman's speech launching ISE 2025. 7. He says HETMA had its own booth for the first time and that he would later record an interview with Neville Bounds from Biamp for AV on air. 8. Justin argues that the AV industry still needs "new blood" and points to Avixa, LTSMG, HETMA, and SCOMs as routes into the field. 9. He recalls Peter Lloyd at AV Magazine saying 25 years ago that the industry was short of talent. 10. In Hall 3, Justin describes Epson's large booth and its immersive Pro Wall as a half-globe mirror image made with three projectors. 11. He says the image is projected onto both the ceiling and the floor, which is why he calls it "quite stunning." 12. Justin also highlights Lang's transparent LED waterfall, saying his hand appears to catch the water while the LED stays nearly invisible. 13. Panasonic's dome-style display uses "one, two, three, four, five, six or seven projectors" for a video wall and floor projection. 14. Justin notes that Samsung's "The Wall" is drawing heavy crowds as Hall 3 gets more congested. 15. At Logitech's Connected Classroom, Jay Lyons explains a Rally camera converted with category cable to run up to 100 meters. 16. Jay also says the bundle includes three wireless preset buttons, can be expanded to five, and costs USD 2,199. 17. The DisplayNote interview covers Launcher, a meeting-room kiosk that gives quick access to apps, calls, and booked meetings. 18. DisplayNote also demonstrates BYOD software that connects a Teams or Zoom call to room displays and USB peripherals without extra hardware. 19. The episode has a field-reporting style with frequent walking commentary, booth reactions, and short interviews at the stands. 20. Listeners who follow AV hardware, higher-ed tech, and ISE booths will get the most from it, while people wanting a tightly edited studio conversation may skip it.
