Woongjin ThinkBig ARpedia Wins 'CES Innovation Award' for 3 Consecutive Years
Woongjin ThinkBig announced on the 16th that its augmented reality (AR) reading solution 'ARpedia' has won the 'CES Innovation Award' for the third consecutive year.
ARpedia received the Innovation Award in the 'Mobile Devices and Accessories' category. After becoming the first in the education industry to win the CES Innovation Award in 2021, it won two Innovation Awards last year in the AR·VR (virtual reality) mobile application field, and this time, it received the Innovation Award for three consecutive years.
In this award ceremony, Spotty, a giraffe-shaped augmented reality stand, received high praise. It is a device that recognizes the learner's hand and marker (teaching aid) movements through a camera and transmits information to a tablet PC in real time. ARpedia was recognized for excellence in all areas that make up the set, including educational content, apps, and devices.
Woongjin ThinkBig plans to participate in 'CES 2024,' starting January 4 next year (local time), to showcase the device to visitors and corporate officials from overseas and establish partnerships. Taiwanese company StudioA, which signed an export contract worth 10 billion KRW annually in the Greater China region in July, first encountered ARpedia at CES 2023 and sent a love call for overseas distribution cooperation.
Lee Jae-jin, CEO of Woongjin ThinkBig, said, “ARpedia is once again proving its innovation and originality in the global market, writing a new history for the domestic education industry. We will continue to focus on technology development and product enhancement to become a pioneer in expanding K-edu into overseas markets.”
