Most could not believe I was speaking to them, seamlessly, from Toronto as they simultaneously answered trivia questions for prizes on my mobile App.<\/p>\n<h4>I\u2019ve done many versions of my Quiz Show and gamification \u2013 in-person, online virtual events, hybrid events, interactive on pre-recorded livestreams &#8211; and now, as a 3D hologram beamed to Vegas from 3,610 kms (2,243miles) away.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The proprietary tech and \u201cbeam\u201d platform used by<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arht.tech\/about\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARHT<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>for me to appear in one of their \u201cCapsules\u201d required \u201coutside of the box\u201d thinking and programming to meet, and even create, a need for presenters and entertainers to engage their audiences. Obviously, I was all over it! For others, however, tech innovation is intimidating or is mistaken as over-producing a moment.<\/p>\n<p>I think about the audience engagement opportunities and revenues that were missed at recent in-person or hybrid events for which I was a host\/performer where, because of logistics, cost-controls, or tech-reluctancy, C-suite or event speakers appeared in pre-recorded videos or didn\u2019t appear at all.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare to be beamed in as a hologram across the continent, all you need to do is get comfortable presenting live, on-camera. As a result, when the opportunity to inspire audiences in unexpected event scenarios arises because of such tech innovation, your previous hesitation about using new tech won\u2019t make you feel so boxed in.<\/p>\n<p>\u200d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/793638985?h=ef83e52b67\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proprietary tech and &#8220;beam&#8221; tech used for me to appear in a &#8220;Capsule&#8221; required &#8220;outside of the box&#8221; thinking.
