Thinking ahead for our clients with virtual and augmented reality
Our CEO John Clauss sat down with Evan Kirchhoff, a virtual reality expert, and one of the members of our innovation team who has worked with us as a strategic advisor since 2001.
Their goal was to think together about the current and future states of virtual reality and augmented reality. Marker Seven is particularly interested in this line of thought because a number of our clients come from industries or are working on projects particularly conducive to AR and VR, such as medical equipment, educational platforms, and retail products.
KQED Learn: Media Literacy for a Blended Learning Experience
KQED, one of the biggest public media outlets in the US saw a challenge: How can we equip today’s youth with the tools to understand, analyze, author and engage with the media they encounter?

The outcome was KQED Learn. Through KQED Learn, students can interact with their classmates, as well as peers throughout the Bay Area, honing their media literacy skills.
