As you’re all busily updating and upgrading your AV systems over the break — while students are sun-bathing in the northern hemisphere and skiing in the southern hemisphere, we’ve been working on our InfoComm 2019 award-winning products. We hope to announce those awards next week! But, in the meantime, there are a few KEY new educational-aimed products I want to draw your attention to that I think you should look at immediately.
First, this company called
HoverCam used InfoComm 2019 to launch two new lectures — one aimed at primary and high schools and one aimed at colleges. The Pilot X is the K-12 one — go
watch this two-minute video and I will be you will want one! Mobile, battery-operated, wireless HDMI, built-in document camera and touch-screen control — all in one.
The second is the Pilot 5 — I have an earlier version of this in my classroom at UNC and LOVE it. This one is exactly the same but they added the battery. If you
watch this, I promise you that you’ll want to add this to every campus classroom.
And, NO, they didn’t pay me to say that. They are NOT a sponsor of rAVe ED and this is not content marketing. This is pure excitement.
Next, I want to show you the
T1V ThinkHub Connect aimed at classrooms — I did
this video demo the week before InfoComm with T1V and this is aimed at college classrooms that need a more active learning or collaborative learning environment — this demo was done in real-time and in a classroom.
Extron has amped-up its touchLink Control Panels.
These might be the best in the industry right now — they’re available in 5”, 7” and 10” and drop right in to any TouchLink classroom or one that doesn’t even have a control system as they have a built-in controller.
Finally, don’t forget that we shot over 1,600 videos at this year’s InfoComm show and all of them
are here. And, if you want to see something really cool we did at InfoComm, grab a VR headset and take a tour of the Epson booth in a fully-immersed environment
here (and it works in a browser too). Enjoy!
