NY1 captured a virtual exchange between students at University Heights High School (UHHS) in the Bronx, NY and Floyd County High School (FCHS) in Langley, Kentucky. Their connection was facilitated by Shared_Studios‘s immersive portals, which made students, who were miles away, feel as though they were in the same room.
