Happy Thursday, AV pros and fans! There’s a really cool case study in this newsletter I think you’ll find interesting — it’s my favorite piece this week! 62 of Vivitek’s NovoTouch displays were selected by Education Other Than at School (EOTAS) Centers in Northern Ireland. The program caters to children who find traditional schooling challenging, and Vivitek’s reseller partner, IMEX, consulted and installed the displays. You don’t want to miss that story below!
Time to get to our columns. Our first piece, “The Struggle for ‘Seamless’ Hybrid Experiences,” discusses how software-based meeting platforms often do not match displays in large classrooms. Projection systems and direct-view LED screens can sometimes help with this problem, but participants are often “interrupted” from view on a canvas. Can hardware-based solutions provide a fix to this issue?
Our second column, “Pitch Perfect in Berlin,” is Bob Snyder’s deep dive into a startup called Pitch. Though it only launched in 2018, the company has already raised $85 million this year. This possible contender to the PowerPoint program isn’t lacking much — except maybe Anna Kendrick. Find out the details in this great column!
Find all this and more in this newsletter, #EdTweeps! If that’s not a hashtag yet, it should be. I hope you have a great rest of your week, and I’ll see you next time!
