[. . . ] Applications at the forefront of technology Mercy Ships Global Charity Mercy Ships, a global charity, has operated a growing fleet of hospital ships in developing nations since 1978. Mercy Ships has performed more than 18, 000 operations such as cleft lip and palate reconstruction, cataract removal and facial reconstruction. [. . . ] Mercy Ships also was looking for a communications tool that would make social events and devotional services more interesting. Aboard the Caribbean Mercy, most of this communication takes place in the International Lounge, the largest meeting space on the ship. The room was originally equipped with a simple whiteboard, but according to Don Golden, IT Manager for Mercy Ships, "We needed a more visually impactful, effective and universal way to share our work while communicating our message. The language barrier is our biggest challenge and we risked getting our message lost in translation. " the solution A lightweight projector from NEC was permanently installed in the ceiling of the lounge. The NEC projector displays bright, vivid, larger-than-life computer and video images which command attention while effectively conveying Mercy Ships' message. And the projector's high-resolution capabilities, broad computer compatibility and accurate, vibrant color display make it ideal for a wide variety of work and social applications. "The NEC projector. . . allows us to really connect with the people we visit and care for. " In addition, the NEC projector's intuitive features make it easy for everyone to use. The projector's ease of use is ideal for Mercy Ships as their staff and volunteers are constantly changing. And because of the NEC projector's high brightness, closing the window shades in the International Lounge is no longer necessary. the benefits Since incorporating the NEC projector, crew members now routinely use video clips and PowerPoint presentations to describe their mission to guests. Visitors and crew alike are inspired by dramatic "before and after" photos of patients treated onboard. [. . . ] It allows us to really connect with the people we visit and care for and offers a dramatic way to show how Mercy Ships is giving sick patients a new beginning, " said Golden.
