Device Demonstration Programs - STAR Partners (2011-2012)
Device demonstrations allow consumers to compare features and benefits of a particular device or category of devices. Demonstrations are for individuals, or a small group of individuals, and are not the same as devices shown during an exhibit or public awareness event.
During a device demonstration, consumers can:
- Compare features of one or more similar devices or software systems
- Experience hands-on time exploring similar devices or software systems
- Ask questions
- Receive professional advice
- Make a decision whether or not to borrow a device for short-term loan
To learn more or to schedule a device demonstration of one or more devices available through Minnesota's statewide device loan program, please contact STAR or one of our partners listed below.
