Service Owner – Learning
Spaces and Collaborative
Environments at the University of Warwick commented: “Our teachingand meeting spaces need
to be extremely intuitive,
as it’s often difficult toencourage users to at-tend scheduled training
sessions. Our users havethe confidence to use
any WolfVsion Visualizer
on campus, be it new or
up to 15 years old, which
is a testament to the design and intuitive controls which are consistentacross all WolfVisionproducts”. Several standard AV design templates
have been developed for

which is to provide students and teaching staff
with a consistent experience, whichever room
they are using on campus.

Ceiling-mountedunits
are used in some of thebigger rooms where theincreased capture sur-face area enables the display of larger materials.
Visualizers have always
been popular with users,
in particular for the detailed display of handwriting and a wide variety ofphysical objects. Jonathan Owen added,: “Myteam and I believe WolfVision products offer
unrivalled quality, bothin terms of their construction and the quality ofthe optics. Our teaching
spaces are in constantuse for ten hours eachday, which means weneed extremely reliablehardware which is easy
to maintain”. Students
at Warwick are also able
to watch recorded lecture content from Visualizers via the Echo 360
lecture capture platform.
Since launching the lecture capture service in2013, the Visualizer has
proved to be one of themost popular capturesources, especially whencombined with an actualpresentation. Furthermore, WolfVision Visualizers
have been instrumental
in helping to encourage otherwise potentially
nervous lecturers to start
using the lecture captureservice, by enabling themto simply write onto theVisualizer working surface, or to easily sharea book or object with
their students. Warwick
currently records over
20,000 lectures per year,

In summary, commenting
on the value of WolfVision systems, Jonathan
Owen said: “WolfVisioncontinues to refine andenhance its products after purchase, and all firmware updates and featureenhancements are freeof charge. We always

consider any WolfVisionpurchase to be a longterm investment and remain impressed by thecompany’s appetite toimprove their products,
long after the initialpurchase. I believe WolfVision is unrivalled interms of the quality andintuitive design of its products, but just as important is the relationshipthey maintain with theircustomers, long after theinitial purchase. Over thepast 15 years, we’ve onlyneeded to contact WolfVision for support on a
handful of occasions andhave always received afast response and thehighest possible levelsof support. I can’t thinkof another AV or IT manufacturer I’ve worked
in the past 20 years whooffers anywhere near thislevel of service”. WolfVision is extremely proudto play an important supporting role in student
education at the University of Warwick, andlooks forward to providing support and adviceto this leading educational institution for many
