In Bari, on May 9 and 10, we will meet the future. Imerio Chiappa, President of the i.M2A Network, emphasizes the purpose of the initiative: "The network has among its tasks to facilitate training and support both staff and students in deeply understanding the main technologies. We have long been involved in developing technical skills for our schools, but it is necessary to consider teaching methodologies and the use of certain technologies to support every type of teaching. The Network aims to contribute to innovation. This project represents our community of practices in line with what is required by the Dig. Comp Edu models, our idea of actions sees the participation of all actors, which is why we decided to travel across Italy and promote experiences of great impact and value.” “The HLF - Hybrid Learning Framework program aspires to be a great environment for discovery, an experimental forge where teachers can learn and practice the latest technological vanguards, and on these, build educational content usable across the entire national territory.

Choosing the IISS Marconi Hack of Bari for the Kick-off of this project with a futuristic and national imprint, as it is funded by the PNRR, is a sign of recognition of the commitment and value of the southern Schools that actively contribute to the creation and realization of new technologies, also a result of the synergistic energies developed by the i.M2A Network that brings together Schools and Business Activities of the country under the same aegis." The collaboration between i.M2A and Hevolus Innovation will be formalized with an agreement during the first event in Bari, sealing an alliance between schools focused on innovation and change and a company like Hevolus, whose world is innovation. "Our solutions are designed to improve the classroom experience for teachers and students, using technology to transform learning into an active and engaging journey, for example by combining immersive 3D holograms with the physical space in which lessons are held to make them more engaging and memorable," explained Fabio Santini, CEO of Hevolus. “Our approach enhances the centrality of the teacher's role, who from today will prepare and share their lessons and also have a virtual twin with whom students can interact, for better interaction between teachers and students. We are witnessing a fundamental change in the way education is delivered and received, this new approach to learning is not only more effective but also more fun for both teachers and students." Hevolus envisions a future where technology plays a central role in education, where the physical and digital worlds perfectly merge, offering schools solutions designed to facilitate understanding and memorization through emotional involvement and interactive experience. Creating more engaging and personalized learning experiences by combining Extended Reality and Artificial Intelligence helps make learning more interesting and personal, while preparing students for a future in which the barriers between the real and the digital world will be increasingly blurred: merging the best of traditional learning theories with the latest technologies, Hevolus offers a future-proof education.

The Web XR solution developed by Hevolus Innovation allows Natuzzi to bring the furnishings directly to the customer's home. MILAN, February 6, 2023 – Hevolus Innovation, an innovative Italian company leading in SaaS solutions for the corporate metaverse, announces a new application of its Web Extended Reality (Web XR) solution designed to support and enhance the shopping experience for Natuzzi customers, one of the major global players in the production and distribution of design and luxury furniture. The collaboration between Hevolus Innovation and Natuzzi through the application of the Web XR solution was validated by the Smau Innovation Award 2023, an accolade awarded to the company for having made a concrete innovative contribution to its reality and helped to grow the country's system as a whole. Hevolus Innovation and Natuzzi have developed this new application to make the sales experience increasingly engaging, simple, and unique: thanks to the Hevolus solution, a customer visiting a Natuzzi store can select their preferred furnishings and receive from the designer a digital project complete with a QR Code. Once at home, simply scanning the QR Code with a smartphone's camera allows viewing the furnishings directly in the rooms of one’s home, without downloading dedicated apps. Furthermore, by moving the camera, it is possible to move around the space, choose colors, and place items as desired. Direct visualization also allows evaluating the spatial requirements and choosing furniture compositions perfectly in line with the available space. This experience leads to an increased level of customer satisfaction through the selection of a product perfect for different tastes and needs, while the company has the opportunity to offer a virtually infinite virtual catalog of products customizable in 360° in its environments. "We are pleased to stand by the Natuzzi Group to celebrate this important recognition with them, highlighting and rewarding innovation made in Italy. We believe that the new Web XR technologies, with their enormous potential, can help the retail sector by providing essential tools not only to create new business opportunities in a sustainable way but also to enhance the customer journey," explains Antonio Squeo, Chief Metaverse Officer at Hevolus Innovation. "The most effective way to showcase a product is when the customer sees it in its real dimensions, but there are cases where this is not easy. Our augmented reality solution allows customers to view products and complex systems through their interactive 3D digital twins. This experience offers an extremely accurate idea of how the product can fit into the real space." "After the Natuzzi Augmented Store project, realized in partnership with Hevolus and Microsoft, for which we were awarded the prestigious Digital 360 Award, Natuzzi once again confirms its status as a game changer in creating a totally innovative customer experience," explains Pierangelo Colacicco, Chief Information Technology and Digital Innovation Officer at Natuzzi.
