Exertis Almo, the largest and most specialized value-added North American AV distributor has entered into a distribution agreement with The Glimpse Group (Glimpse). Glimpse provides enterprise-focused augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR) software and services, along with professional development training for professors, teachers and IT directors.
As a result of the agreement, Exertis Almo is now the only AV distributor to offer every component of an education or healthcare-based VR rollout, including hardware solutions, mobile device management, and now the software content/applications.
Glimpse will provide immersive demos of its Medical Assisting (MA) Skills Lab — a comprehensive software solution for students in K-12 and higher education interested in a career in nursing and/or healthcare during the Exertis Almo E4 Experience, coming to Anaheim on October 8.

The E4 Experience is well-established in the AV industry as the most valuable, free, one day traveling education, training and product showcase for integrators, consultants and end users. It brings together top educators, manufacturing partners, AVIXA CTS Renewal Unit training, technology firsts and endless networking opportunities.
“Due to our strong educational presence in both K-12 and higher education, our partnership with Glimpse will enable us to develop and scale VR implementations in educational institutions and then work with integrators to train educators on how to best use VR with their students,” says Tristan Aldinger, technical sales specialist at Exertis Almo. He continues, “Thanks to the partnership with Glimpse, we are now able to package the software and professional development components with the VR hardware, which brings so much additional value to our integrators and their education customers interested in implementing VR in the classroom.”
Craig Herndon, director of strategic alliances for Glimpse, says, “Exertis Almo has a history of distributing VR technology and is a natural partner for Glimpse.Together, we are well-positioned to enable the long-term growth of the immersive technology category by improving organizations’ understanding of how to best utilize the technology and realize ROI.”
Located directly on the E4 Experience showroom floor, Glimpse will provide immersive VR demos of an MA Skills Lab, a solution for nursing, medical assisting and professional clinical training students in K-12 and higher education. Various labs related to subjects such as vital signs, injections, vascular and surgical procedures, laboratory and lab testing will be available for demonstration.
