We just returned from the TCEA show in Austin Texas.  As usual at tradeshows, the Swivl drew a great crowd and response (something about shiny spinning robots gets peoples attention!). We were surprised and impressed by the amount of school districts that had a 1:1 initiative for iPad's.  It's clear this is major movement in ...

Just a few moments ago, our Kickstarter campaign reached its conclusion. We ended up with 1030 backers and $157,782 in backer rewards. We are extremely pleased with this end result.

August is drawing to a close and the start of school is rapidly approaching. For Swivl, this will be the beginning of our first full school year since our launch. I guess you could say it's our freshman year! Education is ahead of the curve in understanding the power of video as a learning tool. Due to the interest our product ...

The next release of Swivl.app and Firmware is expected in just a few short days.  This release (Version 1.3) is particularly special because it includes an option that many of our users have been asking for, fully automatic tilt. Yes, that means that tracking (both tilt and pan) will be fully automatic and follow the Marker. (...
