Promethean and ARHT Media combine efforts to deliver augmented reality HumaGrams to education for the first time.

On June 9, 2016, Sally MacDonald of the Fox 26 Morning Show in Houston attended the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District’s Rigor, Relevance and Relationships (RRR) Conference. The room was filled with nearly 1,300 school leaders from 95 districts. MacDonald conducted a live interview with Paul Duffy, the CEO of ARHT Media, inventor of the HumaGramTM, a 3D human hologram.

“We take the best in the world and beam them out to the rest of the world,” said Duffy during an interview where he appeared as a HumaGram. “The technology captures a person, beams them through using the public internet and displaying them onto one of these holographic stages.”

Teacher, author and innovative school founder Ron Clark spoke to the educational professionals as a HumaGram as well. Clark offered educators from across Texas creative practices for motivating students, parents, and colleagues throughout the learning process.

Promethean and ARHT Media Inc. joined forces to bring the HumaGram presentations to the conference. Ron Clark’s appearance as a HumaGram at the RRR Conference marks the first time this augmented holographic technology was used to deliver teacher and administrator training in an educational setting.
