» Click here to download Press Release For Immediate Release Creative learning with innovative AV aids See latest audiovisual aids for education from international and emerging Asian AV brand leaders at InfoComm Asia 2010 (www.infocomm-asia.com), Asia's largest trade show dedicated to professional audiovisual, information communication and systems integration. (Hong Kong, 27 July 2010) For both the learner and the trainer, AV technology can greatly enhance the information exchange process, whether it is in a formal instruction environment or self-directed learning. The convergence of video, voice and data communication technologies open up new possibilities, unleashing new audiovisual aids to excite, involve and inspire learners, and at the same time facilitating trainers in their lesson preparation and presentation. Imagine a classroom equipped with an e-board hooked on to a system that can read computer data, music and video files, which will save the teacher time writing on the board and turning his back on the students; a visualizer that can capture and display field specimens or art illustrations in zoomed detail, offering the entire class a close look simultaneously instead of having to wait for the specimen to be passed around before meaningful discussion can take place; a lecture theatre complete with multimedia lectern, surround sound system and 360-degree immersive AV system that is capable of interactive graphics and 3D visuals, providing virtual reality simulation and experiential learning. Or, a multicast platform that records, streams and manages digital video across IP networks, connecting lecture theatres within the same campus or students in different campuses, and promoting collaborative or distance learning. Technology Showcase The technologies for such solutions to enhance the learning experience will be showcased at InfoComm Asia 2010 happening from 17-19 November 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. Some 320 companies from 27 countries will be exhibiting their latest systems for education sector technology managers and other business sectors. Exhibitors include Wolfvision, Tranzendia and VTRON which will be presenting their complete e-learning and e-classroom solutions, e.g. interactive whiteboards, flipcharts, visualizers, lecterns, tablets and other interactive hardware and software; Da-Lite, Elite Screens and Stewart Filmscreen which will be bringing their state-of-the-art projection screen systems for high impact presentations; Beyerdynamics, ClearOne, ClockAudio and Taiden with their HD conferencing solutions to facilitate cross campus communication and distance learning; Fleetwood Group with wireless transmission of data and audio for audience response or language instruction, as well as custom furniture for learning environments; and AMX, Crestron and Vity presenting their control and automation systems to integrate AV equipment, lights, drapes and screens for seamless operation using touchpanel technology. Other AV systems suppliers at InfoComm Asia 2008 with educational applications include Audio Visual Station, Cayin Technology, Creator, CY Communications, Draper, Oray, PCM, projectiondesign, Quadra Technique and Sinew Technology. Learning Opportunities In addition to the trade exhibition, technology managers from universities and other educational institutions can also avail themselves to learning opportunities offered at the InfoComm Asia 2010 Summit. The Summit Program covers educational seminars, manufacturers' presentations and industry-focused conferences, as well as site visits to actual AV installations. Of particular interest will be the Industry-focused Conferences with topics such as Projection Screen Applications, Room Management and Scheduling, and Touch-Based Interactive Digital Signage; Attention, Retention and Motivation - Prospects for the future. Delegates can also benefit from the planned site visit to the ALiVE exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Park (www.cityu.edu.hk/scm/alive). An acronym for Applied Laboratory for Interactive Visualization and Embodiment, the ALiVE exhibition offers a unique occasion to experience nine spectacular immersive environments at the frontiers of art and science. It features ground-breaking innovations in panoramic 3D cinema, embodied architecture, games and animation, digital humanities, distributed media, interactive visualization and simulation. This is City University of Hong Kong's imaginative new research incubator and showcase for innovations in creative media, building on world famous research achievements that have been made over recent years at the ZKM Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the UNSW iCinema Research Centre in Sydney and Museum Victoria in Melbourne. There will also be a 2-day workshop by SynAudCon (www.synaudcon.com), an audio training resource organization dedicated to providing practical, in-depth training on the principles of audio and acoustics. The session titled Professional Sound System Design: A Practical Approach will help participants to gain more confidence in the systems they designed by learning the most critical elements of the design process. Loudspeaker sensitivity, headroom considerations, device selection and placement, arrays, acoustic interference, the room impulse response (RIR) are some of the topics which will be covered in this SynAudCon workshop.
