 Marco allows the ability for users to create virtual fences around geographical locations or place, and then tie them to outputs displayed on the screen. - e.g. “Out of the Office”, “In the Downtown Campus”, “Gone Fishing” or even “Elvis has left the building”. To create a frictionless experience we leveraged Google Latitude to get your physical location on a map without the need for user intervention to change and update the display. Marco allows the ability for users to create virtual fences around geographical locations or place, and then tie them to outputs displayed on the screen. - e.g. “Out of the Office”, “In the Downtown Campus”, “Gone Fishing” or even “Elvis has left the building”.

 First build was to leverage the external monitor that was left orphaned at my desk. Field research showed most office spaces of mobile/laptop workers to have a blank external monitor available to offer info about where its user was. The concept was to develop a step device that the monitor would plug into and pass thru video if a monitor was present, or display the users notes if there was no laptop connected. I may seek to prototype this later, but development was larger than my technical levels versus a self contained unit. First build was to leverage the external monitor that was left orphaned at my desk.
