ImagineAR Inc (CSE:IP) (OTCQB:IPNFF) is teaming up with Broward Education Foundation – and a couple of global celebrities – to create an historic immersive augmented reality graduation experience for the Florida county’s students. Grads will use ImagineAR’s free mobile app to record themselves accepting their diplomas at home from Broward superintendent Robert Runcie and dance with world-reknowned musical artist Flo Rida in a never-before-seen AR experience known as #2020gradsecret. NBA superstar Dwyane Wade has also recorded a special message for the students, who are facing a very unique graduation experience amidst the coronavirus pandemic. READ: ImagineAR Inc inks partnership with top-rated consulting firm North Highland "This futuristic ImagineAR augmented reality technology is a trip," Flo Rida said in a statement. "I'm happy to help these graduates define a new way of celebrating and social interaction as they move on to the next chapter in their young lives." ImagineAR’s technology provides businesses of any size with the tools to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns instantly. Users can simply point their mobile devices at logos, signs, buildings and more to instantly engage and record AR images, videos or holographic content. In the #2020gradsecret experience, the free ImagineAR mobile app allows students to move, talk and interact with AR images of Superintendent Runcie and Flo Rida right in their house. The AR experiences are geo-targeted only to Broward County and grads choose from four customizable interactive experiences to video and share immediately on social media. "It literally looks like the Superintendent or Flo Rida are right next to these graduates, whether they're in their living rooms, back yards or anywhere," said Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO of ImagineAR. "We were thrilled to partner with Broward Education Foundation to bring this immersive technology to life- for the first-time ever and- for Broward's graduating seniors." Broward Education Foundation’s executive director Shea Ciriago said that 2020 grads are “making history.” "In these unprecedented times of quarantining and social distancing, Broward Education Foundation wanted to make the Class of 2020's graduation a very special and memorable experience,” Ciriago added. Superintendent Runcie called the ImagineAR technology “mind-blowing.” "When Broward Education Foundation proposed this idea that would allow students to video themselves receiving their diploma and more, in their own homes, it occurred to me how truly great things are often born from challenging situations," Runcie said. Over 18,000 graduating seniors will receive a special Class of 2020 sign with their cap and gown packages courtesy of partner BrightStar Credit Union. One student in each of the four AR experience categories will be awarded $200 from Broward Education Foundation in a "who did it best" contest.   Contact Angela at angela@proactiveinvestors.com Follow her on Twitter @AHarmantas
