MAHWAH, N.J. April 12, 2018 / PRNewswire/ -- All Things Media (ATM), the area's leading digital development agency, is opening its doors to the community organizations and students to demonstrate what the future has in store. In an effort to inspire and inform the next generation, ATM hosted two different groups of students in conjunction with nearby Ramapo College (Mahwah, NJ). ATM gave hands on demonstrations of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Photogrammetry, Gesture Control and 3D Animation programs it has created for its global clients Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, Nickelodeon and McGraw-Hill Education.
The Design student tour included 14 seniors from Ramapo College and their lead professor Bonnie Blakely. This session focused on how design impacts digital products today, and its important role in how consumers and companies use technology on their mobile devices and computers. The program ended with a Q&A session with one of ATM’s senior designers, Kevin Blum, allowing the students to gain direct insight on what it takes to become a successful designer in the digital age.

The second group included 27 Graduate students from the American College of Greece. These students, sponsored by neighboring Ramapo College, were on a tour to get exposed to different types of American businesses including NBC Universal, We Work, Stryker and All Things Media. The students toured ATM’s innovative office space and were able to get hands on with the latest technology being used by some of the world’s best-known brands. The visit included a Q&A with ATM co-founders Rob Spierenburg and Rich Maharaj.
