Loughborough University’s Gary Burnett and Vikki Locke presented a survey and test using Proto at the Media and Learning Conference in Leuven, Belgium. “The survey results indicated that social/co-presence was clearly high, with the students believing strongly that the hologram speaker was ‘in the room’, sentient, conscious of them and, essentially behaving as an authentic lecturer. Moreover, the student’s perceived satisfaction, engagement, and sense of learning suggested the experience was much closer to an in-person lecture than a video conferencing session.”
