Arrange facilities to demonstrate games and interactive media project outputs
Overview
This standard is about arranging facilities to demonstrate games or interactive media project outputs. This includes selecting appropriate venues and equipment, making sure there is enough equipment for attendees and that it is working as it should. Demonstration can take place either at prototype stage, key stages during development or upon completion of games or interactive media projects.
