ARHT Media Inc. ("
ARHT Media") [TSXV:ART], the
global leader in the development, production and distribution of
high-quality, low latency hologram and digital content, announces
that HEC Paris in Qatar officially opened its new building in
Msheireb Downtown District of Doha, it organized a live panel
discussion that featured cutting edge hologram technology.
The panel, which addressed the topic of Corporate Innovation,
included three locally-based panelists and one panelist
participating live from the HEC Paris campus in France. This was
the first use of the newly installed equipment from ARHT Media,
which creates a direct link between the campuses of HEC Paris in
France and Qatar.
Moderated by HEC Paris Professor Anne-Valery Corboz, panelists
included Guillaume Lafage, Managing Director of Atos Qatar, Yousef
Al Jaber, VP of Innovation and Change Management of TotalEnergies
Qatar and Abeer Al Hammadi, Director of Innovation, Qatar
Foundation IDKT Office.
Professor Sihem Jouini, who participated on the panel through
the hologram technology, said “This tool allowed me to not only
participate in this panel, but to demonstrate how technology can be
used to connect people and help share ideas across the globe. I
teach innovation, but today I felt like I was innovating.”
The HoloPresence™ system was produced and installed by
ARHT, a Canadian-based company who has been a pioneer in the field
of holographic telepresence. Mr. Larry O’Reilly, CEO of ARHT, was
present for the unveiling.
“HEC Paris, global leader in business education, will now be
able to utilize faculty for both core curriculum, as well as guest
speakers and special events, whether they are in France or Qatar.
The first of its kind in the Middle East and France, HEC Paris
joins a growing list of universities globally that now have the
ability to network with one another for impactful education without
the need for air travel. Over time this will save the universities
money and assist in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions. This
panel discussion is a perfect example of using HoloPresence™
technology to bring participants to an important event without
having to fly to get there.”
Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar, Dr. Pablo Martin de Holan, who
opened the session, commented that “…this technology will allow us
to reduce our carbon impact while enhancing the quality of our
content. We can now “bring” to the classroom people from distant
locations in ways that were ecologically damaging or just not
economical before. It provides a high level of interaction that
blends seamlessly into the classroom experience for students and
Faculty, and so intuitive that the adoption is straightforward. We
will continue to leverage this innovative technology to bring
continually the best content in the world to our programs, and we
are fully deploying it for our pedagogical needs: for HEC Paris,
this technology is not a curiosity, it is our way to prepare our
students for the digital world that comes.”
