The Guardian’s Rachel Hall broke the news that Loughborough University became the first school in the UK to install Proto, intending to use it for beaming in professors from its satellite campus, special speakers from MIT and around the world and to aid 3D design and medical study. “Prof Vikki Locke, the director of undergraduate studies at Loughborough business school, said students “absolutely love” the technology and have been begging for selfies with the gadget. They would prefer “a guest speaker from industry beaming into a classroom to a 2D person on the wall.”
