Students from Al-Ahram Canadian University's Media College have embarked on an innovative graduation project, "TechnoMedia", the first news platform that integrates digital media and virtual reality. As part of their academic journey, the students have developed the first "electronic application" that combines all technology-related events and news, coupled with a platform to experience these events via virtual reality (Metaverse).

The app aims to educate the widest audience about the importance of technology in today's world and the extent of its impact across all fields. 

Notably, it stands as the first news platform to offer various journalistic arts through a Metaverse environment, showcasing new media technologies including virtual reality and augmented reality. Users will have the opportunity to live and experience these technologies first hand.

The groundbreaking project is supervised by Dr. Nihad Mohamed and assistant Arij Ibrahim, with students Nada Ahmed, Makarios Sameh, Walaa El-Sayed, Reda Mustafa, Hala Mohamed, Sharif Said, Yasmine Salah, and Ali Mohamed contributing their talents to the venture.

With its innovative approach, "TechnoMedia" is set to redefine the landscape of digital media and technology news, bridging the gap between information and user experience in a whole new interactive manner.
