Test run for the Truth Booth

Doing a test run of the Truth Booth within the 1TV compound. Teaching the 1TV crew how to man and operate the booth. No small task due to the language and cultural barriers. Going good though!

Reflecting

The Truth Afghanistan #Kabul

Our first dry run on Thursday August 15th in a Kabul city center compound.  Thanks 1TV!

Testing the interface

In one piece

After several failed attempts at locating a proper screwdriver, we got a local carpenter to call in with a screwgun and... viola! Everything arrived a-ok.  Relief after a few weeks of the crate in Afghan customs.

Hello Kabul

There's little doubt we're flying into a warzone.

Changes

For the Afghanistan trip, we completely rebuilt the interface, adding an improved camera, audio recording system, ring lights, swappable hard drives, and a solid state mac mini. We also had the software interface professionally programmed with the ability to customize the screens (due to different languages/dialects) on the fly.

A shot from the Inflatable World factory where the booth was manufactured 2 years ago and more recently modified...  Most notably to have the word Truth covered by its equivalent in Dari: حقیقت.
