Shout-out for Shawn Sexton, Khaled Badwan

Shawn Sexton , Khaled Badwan

I want to give a big thank you and shout out to Shawn and Khaled for helping troubleshoot in the Visualization Gallery. This semester, a student is working on an interactive thesis project using USB cameras. The cameras weren't working as expected, so Shawn and Khaled spent nearly 2 hours with us in the Gallery sorting through the layers of issues. I appreciate how friendly, patient, and diligent they were in helping identify and solve the issues. We have so many unique uses and are often pushing the technology to its limits, and it is wonderful to have colleagues who are willing to put in extra time to make the high-tech spaces work well for students and other users.
