Truth be told, the video requirement has been torturing and distracting me from the project for a the past couple of weeks. (along with a few friends rallying for a local makerspace and other personal things :-)  

Honestly, I think a video is a great requirement for various reasons. There might be a bit underestimating of how much of a tall order it is however. Producing video that demonstrates complex ideas to a general audeance is a respectible skill. Doing so in under two minutes adds to the difficulty. Overall the time requirement is warrented, there is only so much time to review entries. All I'm trying to get at is that it should be no surprise that this requirement eliminates a lot of potential hack-a-day prize contestents or produces a lot of sub par videos.

Speaking of less than perfect videos. After much lamenting I just decide to cut one of my test takes for the prize entry video. Might shoot enother one, but I will be honest and say that I would rather have my nose down in the build than marketing a prototype product. Recently, built a watch form factor utilizing only the haptic components. Want to get things to a point where parts of Neotype can be used on a regular basis even if it is a less feature rich form. Going to consider doing more informal video updates that are under two minutes so information about the project can be deseminated in a more palatable way.
