Andre Henderson had the following to say about his experience as an inventor, “I worked on the first store and forward video-on-demand systems used in the lodging industry, it was a joint venture between Micropolis, EDS, and SpectraVision/Spectradyne. That technology led to the on-demand movies used in homes today. The conception and hardware design were mine, and the other engineers ((co-inventors William H Fuller, and James M Rotenberry) worked on the software; one wrote the code for the remote control, the other wrote code for the remote control to work in the video distribution system.
