In a special sideroom the Dragon Award website will be connected to a projector and headphones. "It's not actually a vending machine, we just liked the word videomat. But we'll be handing out some nice plastic currency for the guests to "buy" video time – just to make sure everyone gets a chance to try it” says Lina Sundén from FS Sweden.
