Siri creator shows off first public demo of Viv

Am I missing something, or was the demo on the Mac just a pre-recorded QuickTime video? The menu title bar said "QuickTime Player" and the title of the window was "Movie Recording".

I don't doubt it works for real, but isn't it a bit weird he didn't acknowledge the "live demo" was actually pre-recorded?

You're missing something: The way to project an iPhone onto your Mac screen with OSX is to use Quicktime movie recording mode and select your iPhone.

Isn't that just a workaround to get a live view of the device on the mac to show on the projector?

I think there is an option for screen recording from a real device in QuickTime. It is mostly used by developers to create promotional videos for an App Store page.

I think "Movie Recording" literally means that the movie is currently recording, i.e. he's using the QuickTime movie record feature as a trick to get the iPhone screen to show on his Mac, and thus the projector.
