At the ACS National Convention in Houston, Texas this past week, we demonstrated a proof-of-concept using Silverlight and large displays like the 46" Samsung HD LCD Panel pictured below. Similar to the displays you see in hotel/company lobbies, this simple concept shows off just one of the many scenarios in which Silverlight can be used. By taking advantage of the VideoBrush in Silverlight, we were able to give the display a subtle, yet attractive, animated back-drop for our announcement text. We also took advantage of Silverlight's full-screen mode to completely hide the browser window. There are a few noticeable hiccups in the animation every now and then, but I'm sure a lot of these issues will be ironed out before Silverlight 2 is ready. I've included a few screenshots of the display below. Enjoy!
