- Output
- TIFFs (archivability)
- PDFs (general use)
- characteristics:
- re-flowable: huge implications--readable in original form, but also a mobile device (can change layout but preserve flow), screen magnifiers, large-format displays, screen readers, websites to use content, etc.
- different levels of fidelity: raster vs. font generation (original vs. re-layed out)
- Design and development process
- UCD (involvement of users in process)
- Separation between engine and UI
- Talk a bit about architecture and future possibilities with other UIs/workflows
- Final envisioned product
- Picture of the setup
- Description (incl. how it's supposed to be suitcase fittable)
