Meet the Interns! ?? Owen Chaffin and Jeremie Thomas are bringing so much energy and insight into our work this summer Owen studies Engineering Design at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with experience throughout robotics, maker, and entrepreneurship programs and brings a contagious energy to everything he touches. Jeremie studies Communications and Media at West Virginia State University with entrepreneurial skills already flourishing at his photography business Big Bankroll Productions, and brings an enthusiasm and insight to all of our media work and beyond.
Honored to share our founder this morning for such an important conversation! Thank you from all of us, Jenny Sharpe, Pittsburgh Robotics Network, Catalyst Connection, Hannah Kusenko, and BotsIQ!
Thanks to Jenny Sharpe from Pittsburgh Robotics Network, Catalyst Connection (especially Hannah Kusenko!), and BotsIQ for inviting me to represent EKTO VR on an Industry 4.0 Robotics Panel for their Teacher Academy. Jenny did an awesome job moderating the conversation and my fellow panelists Adriana Listwak from Formlogic and Brandon Duncan from Thoro.ai were spectacular! (I hope somebody else snapped a picture of our panel, I didn't get a chance to selfie ?? ) We had thoughtful discussions about the various educational paths to companies like ours, student considerations with regard to recruiting and hiring, and how we leverage AI tools to enhance our productivity. Thanks for a great morning! #robotics #industry4 #futureready #startups

Congrats, Jani' Pierre! We are so grateful to get to work with you, and wish you the best of luck in all you do!
Jani' Pierre enrolled in the One-Year MBA program without ever setting foot on campus or visiting Pittsburgh. Amidst the uncertainty, Jani' found a strong support system with her peers and Professional Development Coach, David Fortna, M.Ed, PC. He helped Jani' set goals and seize experiential learning opportunities, ultimately building her confidence. From global consulting projects to conducting market research for velo.ai during the Duquesne New Venture Challenge, Jani' has been successful in breaking out of her comfort zone. ????

Here's a sneak peek of what's in this issue ?? ?? How will the industrial metaverse impact the industrial revolution? The World Economic Forum have released a report exploring the transformative opportunities that spatial computing can bring with some incredible stats on immersive training. ?? We've been keeping up with the growth of haptic gloves and wearable technology in the XR space but have you ever heard of VR shoes?! Antony Vitillo interviewed Brad Factor about the shoes that enable you to walk in VR by walking normally in real life, and it's incredibly interesting. ?? We've been named a finalist in the XR Awards 2024 alongside Pfizer and Qualcomm for the Best Industrial, Manufacturing and Construction solution. ???? Do you need a digital twin? From accelerated risk assessment and production time to enabling predictive maintenance and improved collaboration and training at work, digital twins bring a whole host of benefits, so if you haven't considered one now might be the time... ? Are your current safety training programmes effective for knowledge retention? VR for safety and hazard recognition training is ensuring that organisations have training programmes that have a real-world impact. We hope you enjoy this months issue ??
