At ISTE 2016, the
HoverCam folks made a bold step, offering their excellent visualizer technology
embedded in an ecosystem of resources called the HoverCam CenterStage.
This includes their HD document camera, a height-adjustable podium (pictured
above), their free interactive software Knotester, integrated classroom audio
system, a PC, and an interactive multi-touch flat panel. I can’t believe I just
said that in one breath!
The Knotester
cloud-based software is new and promising (despite the spelling that defies
pronunciation at a visceral level), but the big story here is the complete ecosystem.
