• Qstream, a provider of a mobile enterprise solution for managing the human side of sales acceleration, announced next-generation analytics and data visualization capabilities designed to instantly and continuously synthesize millions of data points into sales fluency “heat maps” and targeted coaching actions.

• Wranx is a new continual training and assessment mobile app that turns employees into experts in less than a minute a day. It is backed by a scientifically proven learning technique called Spaced Repetition—a “brain hack” that exploits the phenomenon whereby people more easily remember or learn items when they are studied a few times spaced over a long time span rather than repeatedly studied in a short span of time. The app delivers ongoing training and assessment direct to any employee desktop, tablet, or smartphone.

• JVC Visual Systems Division introduced its new BLU-Escent laser hybrid illumination projector technology. The new three-chip laser hybrid DLA-VS2500ZG and DLA-VS2300ZG projectors have been optimized to meet the stringent requirements for simulation and visualization applications.
