Steelcase - RoomWizard (Touchscreen Room Scheduling Appliance)
You’ve experienced it before… tried to book a meeting and can’t find an open meeting space or see how long someone has the space for. That’s where the RoomWizard steps in. Each RoomWizard sign displays its room’s schedule: times, topics, meeting hosts, and more. You can even see when the next meeting will start so you can wrap yours up on time — eliminating the public humiliation and beatings from the next scheduled peeps.
The unit has bright red and green lights which signal a room’s availability from a distance – perfect for finding an impromptu meeting space or to avoid interrupting someone else’s meeting. The touch screen also makes it easy to claim an unoccupied space or to extend or delete your reservation on the spot. You can also access the RoomWizard directly since it runs an internal webserver and it can also sync with Outlook and Lotus Notes servers. Another nice feature is RoomWizard’s reporting function… it captures room occupancy and reservation patterns, providing valuable insight into the needs, and actual use, of shared spaces.
The specs:
• 6.4” 640x480 LCD touchscreen
• 200 MHz processor w/ SDRAM controller and I/O companion
• Memory: 64 MB SODIMM RAM
• Hard Drive: 10 Gigabyte
• IEEE802.3 10 Base-T Ethernet via RJ45USB
• IrDA 1.1 compatible
• PCMCIA Slot
• USB
I don’t have official retail pricing for the RoomWizard, but it costs over $2000 each unit.

$2,000 piece of crap that doesn’t work, you mean (ask Seattle how well it is working). How much kickback are you getting for schilling bad products?
We have a bunch of these by my office.
Actually they’re pretty neat. I can look down the hall at a bank of four conference rooms and see if any are available.
Also, I book my own conference rooms instead going to our administrative assistant. Which is nice because I can always take a peek at the schedule for the floor above if the ones I normally use are booked.
I haven’t seen it but I think there is some conference room use report that it generates so that they can see if we need to add meeting space due to overbooking.
Lastly, They aren’t cheap but I doubt we paid 2K each. No purchasing department worth anything buys stuff at list.
