Ampula, Inc. announced a major new endorsement of its Wemax Go Advanced smart laser projector, by Professor Jussi Ängeslevä. Professor Ängeslevä is an award-winning designer, artist, and educator based in Berlin, Germany, who lectures across the planet.
“Firstly, I was totally impressed by the small form factor of the device, that still managed to pack so much power,” says Jussi Ängeslevä, professor at Berlin University of the Arts and the Royal College of Arts in London.
“What kind of totally blew my mind was the fact that I thought of it as a projector but then looking at the interface — the Advanced version has basically a whole operating system — it’s kind of like a mini media center. Instead of an Apple TV you could have the Wemax Go Advanced as your sort of own entertainment system anywhere your home might be.”
Professor Ängeslevä’s favorable remarks regarding the Wemax Go Advanced may serve as a major signal post for technology insiders, who hold his opinion in high esteem. Professor Ängeslevä is actively involved in the rapidly growing field of new media, working with digital materiality, and interaction design and has served on numerous international art and design juries, academic chairs, and boards.
To win the favor of such a decorated and influential design icon is a significant honor for Ampula Inc., creators of the Wemax Go Advanced, which raised over $100,000 within 24 hours of its listing on Indiegogo and crossed the $155,000 threshold soon after, as the total continued to climb higher every hour.
“All in all, I think it really is a sound product,” says Professor Ängeslevä.
“I’m very, very impressed by the hardware. I didn’t expect it to be this good. ”
For 17 years, Professor Ängeslevä has been with ART+COM in Berlin, where he is currently the Vice Creative Director.
