"We are pleased and honored to be recognized for our innovations that truly allow users to experience more,” said Mats Johansson, president and chief executive officer, EON Reality. “Whether in the classroom or in the boardroom, EON ICATCHER Mini users are immersed in a digital environment where they become participants rather than mere observers.”
