Business Entertainment in Silicon Valley Where Tech Meets Fun

Thirty audience members saw German Opera on the Rhine's "Die Tote Stadt (The Dead City)” through AR glasses that showed extra cameras, background data, and bilingual subtitles. Four mixed-reality events will be housed in Florida by Holographic Theater Company Verse Orlando, which combines live events with augmented reality inside a vibrant tent setting. Driven by AR startup Enklu, the immersive environment is populated with virtual worlds and interacting people, therefore transforming visitors into the main players in their own narrative. The audio walks of Baggård Theater present theater right on your schedule. Available in three languages, the app-based interactive performance enables you to roam and follow cues during the "invisible theater" presentation, which spans three picturesque Danish sites. Participants in Fix + Foxy's live digital performance, "Avatar Me," had the opportunity to walk in someone else's shoes as a digital avatar without really traveling. Now on exhibit, Danny Boyle's reinterpretation of the 1999 film "The Matrix" emphasizes the possible threat of AI-powered computers displacing humans in an immersive, tech-centric display with gigantic, state-of- the-art screens. And at Tokyo's "Syn: A New Horizon of Physical Sensations, an interactive exhibition by Rhizomatiks and dance ensemble Elevenplay, dancers perform in a

Dynamic setting that changes when the audience takes the stage

Other digital technologies and artificial intelligence are stretching the bounds of narrative and turning live events from a passive pastime into an engaging one. The practical art form could inspire people to understand the content and message of a performance more completely. It may also cause negative responses from audiences who might feel too overwhelmed or intimidated by tech-heavy plays, therefore excluding individuals who might not be familiar with the equipment or possess the knowledge needed to properly enjoy tech-enhanced performances. Including more technology into theater also translates into increased production expenses. That might increase ticket prices and exclusivity, therefore restricting access to wealthy theatergoers. The ability to combine AR sets, digital characters, and special effects could cause production companies to hire less actors or backstage staff—ultimately depriving entertainment workers from advocating better conditions in the workplace—all but guaranteeing there are no repeats of 2023's creative union strikes.Using Proto's 7-foot-tall, $65,000 system displaying such convincing 3D visuals that it seems like a real person or item is inside, "Star Trek" great William Shatner "beamed" himself last year from a California studio to a Sydney stage. Chris Pratt, Manny Pacquiao, Logan Paul, and John Stamos have all rotated in the high-tech box—which features a more reasonably priced 2-foot-high, $6,900 variant known as the Proto M. Five musicians presented an AR performance at SXSW inviting attendees all around to view a floating 3D hologram representation of the live acts. And after its triumphant run, George Lucas's "ABBA Voyage"—which brought younger iterations of the

Swedish band members back to the stage is scheduled to travel the world

In the framework of its 5G Early Access Program, Deutsche Telekom has also worked with several other communications firms, including Vodafone and Telefonica, to raise the quality of real-time holographic calls. With MIT's Tensor Holography allowing the generation of 3D holograms for VR in real time—using just a smartphone—technological developments are also empowering the masses to manufacture their own holograms. But other holographic assets in the future are digital clones of human performers. Years after German Circus Roncalli started substituting holographic animals for genuine ones, French circus L'Écocirque unveiled a similarly cruelty-free performance including 3D projections of elephants, whales, and lion.Showcasing virtual creatures could prove to be a less expensive, cleaner, and more moral substitute for using real-life, extensively cared for animals. As celebrities interact with audiences as lifsize 3D holograms, holographic technology has helped them to develop ties with their fans on a whole other level by encouraging a strong sense of reality and emotional connections. Fans get to experience a lifetimesize show closer to home while spending less than they would for a conventional concert; it also lets musicians play far-off venues free from concern about the growing travel expenses and the possible risk presented by future pandemics. But holographic transmission requires a lot of data and power. More energy-efficient processing techniques have to be used if holograms are to really take off in order to lower manufacturing costs and their effects on the surroundings. Not too far off, holographic tools could beTreated EDM fans to a stunning VR show featuring Calvin Harris, exclusively available to those with PICO headsets in Europe and Asia, coTech entertainment company Wave transforms musicians into digital avatars that can be scaled up to a thousand times their actual size and placed on virtual stages. Following the success of Megan Thee Stallion's "Enter the Hottieverse, AmazeVR which hosts short VR concerts for Meta Quest and Steam

Created two more digital shows featuring Zara Larsson and Upsahl

With several more VR events headed by T-Pain, South Korean girl group Aespa, and K-pop singer Kai underway. Held in a virtual stadium modeled on the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Thatgamecompany's "Sky: Children of the Light," featured a real-time Aurora concert allowing 10,000 gamers to engage concurrently with one another. With its first holographic music metaverse, Beatday offers viewers the chance to wander 360 degrees and participate in gamified interactions while seeing a VR show. Using volumetric video, the firm produces virtual environments and records artists' acts; thereafter, it encourages fans to purchase tickets to witness prepared events only accessible in the metaverse during a designated period. The platform debuted the newest metaverse project, "Light the Night: Redhat Killer," an exclusive VR experience mixing puzzle games and concert aspects inviting users to follow characters living in a futuristic cyberpunk environment last year.be just as prevalent as cellphones, offering a simple means to investigate other worlds and narratives without having to go through the bad side effects of VR headsets, including headache and eye strain. Holograms may be able to react to their surroundings and move in a more natural way down the road, therefore generating a more participatory experience.
