MacVoices #21045: eGlass Enhances Both The Online and Blended Learning Experiences (2)

<p>The second part of our conversation about eGlass with <strong>Ji Shen</strong>, the CEO of <strong><a href="http://hovercam.com">HoverCam</a></strong>, <strong>Dr. Matt Anderson</strong>, the President and CEO of <a href="http://learning.glass"><strong>Learning Glass Solutions</strong></a> and a physics professor at San Diego State University, and <strong>Bailey Pierson</strong>, the Marketing Director for <strong><a href="http://hovercam.com">HoverCam</a></strong> shifted to the experiences they have had using it, and some of the more technical details. eGlass could be the future of live education because it preserves the best of the white board, presentation program, and instructor/student interaction. We also discussed some possible business use cases for both in-person and virtual interactions. </p>
