The Glimpse Group Announces Augmented Reality Books Partnership between Post Reality and Educational Publishing Company Lightswitch Learning

Partnership Entails the Development of Augmented Reality (AR) Capabilities for Lightswitch's Children's Books and a SaaS Business Model

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 22, 2022 / The Glimpse Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRAR)(FSE:9DR), a diversified Virtual Reality ("VR") and Augmented Reality ("AR") platform company providing enterprise-focused VR and AR software and services solutions, announced today a partnership between its wholly-owned subsidiary company Post Reality and Lightswitch Learning, a New York City-based educational publishing company providing physical and digital learning materials to K-12 schools across the US. The partnership entails the paid development of an immersive learning mobile app featuring interactive AR elements for Lightswitch's children's books, commencing with The Emancipation of Grandpa Sandy Wills.

Emmy award-winning television journalist Cheryl Wills, author of The Emancipation of Grandpa Sandy Wills, tells the story of her enslaved ancestor who fought for his freedom during the Civil War. The book deepens conversations about social justice and racism and helps build literacy, social-emotional, and critical thinking skills. Published in 2015, The Emancipation of Grandpa Sandy Wills is one of Sussman Education's best-selling children's books to date. "Our vision for this augmented reality experience is to transport students into a virtual time travel experience, where they feel like they can interact with Cheryl's ancestors during the Civil War era," said Steve Sussman, President of Lightswitch Learning.

The AR components developed by Post Reality are deployed via a custom mobile app -"Emancipation". The app includes ten animated pages with AR features such as pop-out elements, musical cues and interactive learning materials. Liron Lerman, General Manager of Post Reality, commented: "The Emancipation AR experience not only makes reading more engaging for young learners, but perfectly showcases how education can be enhanced with meaningful interactions based in AR."

The partnership leverages Post Reality's expertise in designing custom-made AR experiences and its background in creating immersive learning solutions with Sussman Education, the parent content distribution company of Lightswitch Learning, which focuses on family engagement, social emotional learning (SEL) and literacy. Our intent is for this to be the first of many AR books developed jointly and commercialized, with a SaaS business model.
