NexTech AR Solutions (NexTech) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE:
N29), an emerging leader in augmented reality for eCommerce, AR
learning applications, AR-enhanced video conferencing and virtual
events today announced that Ryerson University, a globally
recognized leader in Higher Education with over 46,000 students,
has chosen NexTech AR to transform their 2020 Graduation taking
place; November 17, 2020, into a completely virtual experience
using augmented reality.
As previously announced, Ryerson University partnered
with NexTech to launch RALE, the Ryerson Augmented
Learning Experience platform, based on NexTech’s InfernoAR. Due to
the overwhelming positive reaction of students and faculty alike to
the AR labs, the contract has been expanded by 50% from 20 AR
experiences to 30.
RYERSON LABS
Under a new contract, NexTech is creating a one-of-a-kind AR
360-degree portal of the Ryerson's Student Learning Centre.
Esteemed guests can walk into the portal through an AR doorway,
where they will be greeted with falling confetti and navigate a
menu to view the names of the graduates, viewable in 360 degrees.
Eight faculties from Ryerson University will be featured in this
immersive AR 360 experience. Participants will be able to browse
each faculty to learn about the gold medalists, highlights of the
year, congratulate fellow graduates with messages on virtual walls
and take graduation pictures in the photo booth all using NexTech's
ARitize app. NexTech is also utilizing its human hologram
technology for this event, to allow Ryerson's deans to deliver
virtual commencement addresses.
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech comments, “This is going to be a
simply amazing graduation event, a real WOW! We are absolutely
thrilled to be working with Ryerson to create an exciting virtual
graduation ceremony where multiple AR technologies can come
together and create something totally new and immersive, maybe
better than the real thing!” He continues, “COVID-19 has created a
huge challenge for learning institutions not just for teaching
subject matter but also for graduation ceremonies and so we are
gratified to be able to use our AR solutions to help make
graduation a memorable experience for all.”
