Meet Steven Ruiz, he's a 23-year-old man that became quadriplegic a year ago. All Steven wants is to have the opportunity to take back control of his life and to interact with others in different scenarios just how he used to.
Steven will go back to school in January but his main concern is that he might have to miss many of his classes. Due to his condition Steven can't be out of the house for long periods of time.
With Steven in mind we came up with the Idea of HoloPortMe. A platform that will allow him to interact, participate and feel included not only at school but at different social scenarios. HoloPortMe gives Steven the opportunity to appear on a Reflection Display Device and with a 360 camera feed direct his attention to other students, the teacher and the whole classroom while being remote.
When working with Steven on this project, we realized HoloPortMe is not only a solution for him but for all remote students that want to take back control of their own learning. The local students forget that they’re looking at a reflection, and it quickly becomes about the person on the other end of the call allowing the remote students to interact at the same level as their in-person peers.
