How to connect to a Mersive Solstice-enabled display
Beginning in Fall 2017, ITS will pilot a wireless display system called Mersive Soltice. The Soltice device allows a user to display content on a screen wirelessly from their laptop.
Mersive is available in room T320, paired with large-screen displays and movable furniture to enable small group collaboration. Please contact itsmedia@law.upenn.edu to learn more about this initiative.
