Making a picture of the audience half way through the presentation?
Kind regards,

Scott, et al,
Counting attendees is a good idea in theory, but not very workable
in practice. Consider the following difficulties:
* Multiple doors - we try to restrict inflow to one door, but
realistically people use other doors as well.
* People come and go - when do we count them? Do we count only
people who enter? What about people who leave to go to the
bathroom and then return? Double count?
* People who glance in, then decide not to stay - do we count them?
* And the biggest problem: everyone streams into the room in about
three minutes. Getting an accurate count of 200+ people coming
through the door in three minutes is, um, probably not realistic.
- Bjorn
but I wonder if it would not be better to focus on getting
accurate counts on number of attendants for each session with the
assumption that if someone doesn't vote that they were neutral.
