We believe the best user interface for AR/VR products is our eyes," said Shao-Yi Chien, the founder of Ganzin Technology and professor at the NTU Graduate Institute of Electronics Engineering. Recognizing that AR/VR will be the next revolution that transforms people's life, after computers and smartphones, tech giants such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Magic Leap, Sony, and HTC have dived into the development of AR/VR devices. However, most of the products still rely on handheld controllers, which are very user-unfriendly. As a result, VR/AR developers have been seeking new technologies to develop new user interfaces. The Aurora eye tracker module, Ganzin Technology's first-generation product, can track eye movements. Once the battery is fully charged, it will run for 12 hours consecutively, supplying enough power for [...]

Area9 Lyceum Partners with eCampusOntario for Student Readiness

As eCampusOntario looked to improve the readiness of specialized trades students in three high-impact apprenticeships, it recognized the potential of advanced adaptive learning technology to help learners assess their knowledge and close skill gaps. eCampusOntario is partnering with Area9 Lyceum in an adaptive learning pilot program at three colleges located in the Province of Ontario: St. Lawrence College for electrician training, Durham College for plumbing, and Loyalist College for automotive service technician training. Area9 Lyceum’s Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based adaptive learning platform, Area9 Rhapsode, will deliver personalized learning to build greater proficiency among trades students. Area9 Rhapsode has been shown to cut training time in half, while delivering the support and resources each learner needs to close their knowledge and skills gaps and achieve mastery of their subject matter. “eCampusOntario is interested in testing new ways of accelerating training and remediating skills gaps. Area9 Lyceum’s AI-based adaptive learning technology will help us refine our approaches to technical training,” said David Porter, CEO of eCampusOntario. “We expect the results of the pilot projects underway at three of our Ontario colleges will help us better understand how to design and implement programs to rapidly upgrade Ontario’s workforce.” Area9 Rhapsode acts like a personal [...]
