SALT LAKE CITY, June 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Solving the problem of expensive and platform-specific media hubs, LUMOS Technologies (http://golumos.com/), has launched the SmartHub through Indiegogo. The LUMOS SmartHub is an easy-to-implement, operating-system agnostic way to incorporate all technology in the classroom from speakers to projectors.
The LUMOS SmartHub is an in-classroom technology hub for teachers and educators. It’s operating system agnostic and can be used with iOS and Android devices to display lessons, apps and other visual teaching elements.
LUMOS has launched an Indiegogo campaign with a goal of $50,000 to help bring the project to market. The company is taking a unique approach to its crowdfunding campaign by giving teachers and administrators unique URLs that allow them to campaign to get a LUMOS SmartHub and do micro crowdfunding. Educators can pledge to the main campaign or set up their own sub-campaign. For complete details on this crowdfunding approach please visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lumos-smarthub.
“In the hands of an engaged, dedicated educator technology is a tool that can open a window to a wealth of knowledge and opportunity for students,” said Shane Cox, CEO and founder of LUMOS Technologies. “Our product makes it easy for educators to incorporate all classroom technologies into one place whether it is an iPad, Android tablet or Microsoft 8.1 device. This allows them to focus less time fixing simple technical issues and using the technology they have invested in and are comfortable with.”
LUMOS SmartHub features include:
Built-in WiFi – Broadcasts its own wireless network eliminating connectivity issues.
Wide Range of Connections – Includes HDMI and VGA inputs and outputs for older projectors or non-wireless peripherals.
