upGrad, South Asia’s largest online higher education company, and EyeWay Vision today announced their partnership, enabling upGrad to become the first Indian edtech company with an enhanced AR-driven learning experience.

EyeWay Vision Ltd, an Israeli company developing an innovative wearable augmented reality platform, will bring one-of-a-kind immersive augmented reality (AR) to upGrad learners.

The global e-learning market was estimated at US $144 billion in 2019 and is forecast to reach US $374.3 billion by 2026, according to market research firm Facts and Factors. The market for virtual and augmented reality is forecast to reach more than $67 billion globally by 2024, according to AR/VR analyst firm Digi-Capital. upGrad has more than one million learners in more than 50 countries and has recorded an annual revenue run-rate of 165 Million USD for fiscal year 2021.

Nikhil Balram, CEO of subsidiary company EyeWay Vision Inc said, “Partnering with upGrad is the perfect opportunity to apply EyeWay’s advanced AR technology to enhance the whole learning experience by making it unprecedentedly immersive and distraction-free, gamifying online learning for high course completion rates. EyeWay’s exceptional AR uses eye tracking, direct retinal projection and foveated projection to produce a tenfold improvement in visual enhancement. This can disrupt multi-billion-dollar markets like educational technology where an impeccable visual experience is a key to user value.”

The Israeli AR pioneer is developing products based on advanced immersive AR technology, enabling new forms of immersive entertainment, digital learning, e-commerce, and other enterprise applications. Both EyeWay Vision & upGrad share a common vision of creating greatly enhanced immersive learning experiences that customers can access anytime and anywhere.

Ronnie Screwvala & Phalgun Kompalli, Co-founders upGrad, said in a joint statement, “At upGrad, we believe in bringing the best and the latest technology to enhance the learning experience for our learners. The partnership with EyeWay Vision is a path-breaking step wherein we look at developing an augmented three-dimensional interactive learning environment to keep our learners engaged. Not only would this move disrupt the edtech market at large but it would also contribute towards our vision of making world-class education mainstream.”

The EyeWay Vision prototype offers a very high dynamic range, with brightness ranging from ultra-bright 20 thousand nits down to a very low black level of 0.1 nits, allowing it to be used indoors and outdoors in all kinds of lighting. It offers an extremely wide color gamut (Rec 2020), retinal resolution, naturally wide field of view and dynamic focusing, presenting rich and natural digital content that looks completely realistic. The prototype is expected to be available towards the fourth quarter of 2021.

Jeremy Bailenson, VR professor at Stanford University, founding director of Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab, and EyeWay Vision advisory board member said, “If there is one thing the pandemic has taught us, it is that digital learning works and is here to stay. The next phase of this virtual revolution will be to leverage more immersive technology. While AR has shown promise to be a tremendous tool for learning, it hasn’t yet taken off due to limitations around field of view, the brightness and color range of images, and resolution. Eyeway Vision has created an incredible system to overcome these challenges, and there is nothing else like it on the market today. I am excited for digital learning to become more immersive, and to help Eyeway Vision become a leader in this space.”

Through this partnership, upGrad will leverage EyeWay’s customized system to explore the development of AR-enhanced learning experiences and online programs. At an advanced stage, EyeWay and upGrad may include university partners to join in a pilot program. This move can make upGrad the first Indian edtech company and one of the very few globally to incorporate mixed reality to enhance the learning experiences of its online learners. EyeWay is currently developing an immersive AR head-worn prototype. This prototype will be used to enable an immersive AR learning experience that will further be developed by upGrad and its content partners.

Mobile Premier League, Asia’s largest esports and skill-gaming platform, has launched its ‘Hai Akal Khelo MPL’ campaign on TV and digital media platforms across the country. This is MPL’s dedicated IPL campaign, as the marquee T20 tournament began last week.

All the films in the campaign feature a human brain as protagonist, with the central idea that anyone with a brain or ‘Akal’ (intellect) can create a fantasy team on MPL with their knowledge of Cricket during the ongoing T20 tournament.

There are a total of seven films in the campaign, of which three are already live and the rest will be released as the IPL progresses. The first three films are based on the age-old Hindi language sayings “Akal badi ya bhains”, “Akal ke dushman”, and “Dimaag ghaas charne gaya hai”. MPL has roped in veteran actor Vijay Raaz for the films’ voice-overs.

These films have been very well received by audiences across mediums. They have also led to a number of memes based on the ‘Brain’ flooding the internet and social media over the past week. Since the campaign first went live with the start of the IPL, MPL has already seen 1 million new app installs.

Abhishek Madhavan, Senior Vice President, Growth and Marketing, MPL said, “This IPL, we decided to go back to the basics of Fantasy Cricket- which is to make the best possible team by using your knowledge of the game and your thinking skills. By giving the human brain its own manifestation as a protagonist and by using some very well-known Hindi sayings that we can all relate to, we hope these films resonate with the masses. The initial response has been very kind and encouraging and we hope the audiences love all seven films in this campaign.”

Navin Talreja, Founding Partner of The Womb said, “Passion and love for the game of cricket can at best make someone a great fan of the game. But to play the game either in real life or in the form of fantasy one needs skill. Skill in the form of strong analytical skills and strategic abilities to create the best teams game after game. Our attempt was to bring this alive by creating the brain itself as a device. The campaign uses popular idioms associated with the brain to generate popular appeal.”

The films were brought to life by Early Man Films and were directed by Abhinav Pratiman.
