The new capabilities are seamlessly integrated into its InfernoAR platform using its ARitize app. The new AR features will allow for AR experiences to “pop” off the computer screen creating a one-of-a-kind immersive experience that everyone is craving today.

Evan Gappelberg, Chief Executive Officer, NexTech AR noted, “We are on target to have a record breaking month in July revenue with our InfernoAR platform which we expect will only accelerate with this new product launch.” He continues, “ScreenAR’s immersive technology really changes the game for video conferencing and video learning. Imagine students being able to see the objects the instructor is talking about on screen floating in front of them in AR/3D. Imagine virtual conferences with new product launches, sponsorship opportunities, and interactivity. We see demand for this in Telemedicine, education, virtual conferences, and even gamifying ScreenAR. With this technology we firmly believe that Nextech has a competitive edge in the market and that ScreenAR will drive the massive adoption of our already in demand InfernoAR software. We believe that video combined with the immersive nature of AR puts us head and shoulders above the other video conferencing platforms out there.” Paul Duffy, President, NexTech AR states, “We now speak to 100 new prospects each week and overwhelmingly they are all looking for ways to differentiate their virtual events. When we demonstrate the level of interactivity and immersion available through ScreenAR, they see a clear path forward for their Keynotes, Panels, Workshops and - most importantly - their Exhibit booths. Demand has been extraordinary for InfernoAR and I expect an acceleration with the addition of ScreenAR.” InfernoAR is being chosen by more and more customers because of its full spectrum of offerings including end-to-end security encryption, Interactive Video, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality all in one super-secure platform.
