I’m excited to announce our Education Focused meetup scheduled for Nov. 5th. Below please find a list of our demo’s/presenters. Also, please note, the deadline to RSVP is a bit early this time (close of business Nov 1st) so please RSVP early!

Our current project, BioDive, is an immersive virtual reality and digital hybrid experience where students are marine biologists studying the delicate ecosystems of venomous marine snails.

3) Nachum Ganor – SIY

SIY - Speak it Yourself is a VR language acquisition program. Using immersive environments coupled with interactive elements, we help language students with the most difficult part of language learning, conversation. We'll be presenting and demoing our product.

4) Jeff Marshall – Ovation

Ovation can be thought of as a simulator. The key purpose of a simulator is to enable someone to practice a virtual task with enough repetition that the actions required for success are instinctively applied during its real-world equivalent. Just as pilots use flight simulators to train for flights, so too should speakers use Ovation to train for speeches.
