About

Juan Edward Castro is a pioneering researcher in educational technology, with a primary focus on telepresence and immersive learning environments. His most cited work, "Use of Telepresence and Holographic Projection Mobile Device for College Degree Level" (2015, 26 citations), documents a groundbreaking experiment at Tec de Monterrey where he integrated telepresence robots with holographic projection to deliver college-level courses. This study demonstrated how combining these technologies could bridge physical distances in education, offering students a more engaging and interactive remote learning experience. Castro's contributions lie in advancing the practical application of telepresence systems, showing that mobile holographic devices can effectively replicate in-person instruction. His work has influenced the design of hybrid classrooms and inspired further research into augmented reality tools for higher education. By reporting on real classroom implementations over two years, he provided valuable empirical evidence for the feasibility of these technologies. Castro's research continues to shape how institutions approach remote and blended learning, making him a notable figure in the field of educational innovation.
