Learnroll Immerse Team attends ISTE 2018
ISTE 2018
The team at Learnroll Immerse attended ISTE 2018 Conference in Chicago on June 25, 2018. It was a great opportunity to meet other Edtech companies and get to preview new technology innovation in education & learning. It was a very well attended event and also provided us a chance to do multiple customer interviews on how teachers felt about using AR & VR technologies in a classroom and lab.
Though there was very little representation in VR & AR these are some of the booths that our team visited and previewed some demos.
Unity
Labster
Microsoft Hololens
HTC Vive
We also connected to multiple communities through ISTE. The ISTE conference was attended by our founder, Sushmita Chatterjee who is currently an ISTE member.
