I get what you're doing, I don't get why. Can you give an example of where you've seen an event like this be successful and better than anything else out there (as in, something that is a non-spatial experience). I have a bit of experience here, as I run 3D mapping spatial media company https://ayvri.com, and lots' of people would say to us "why would anybody use this", so here's what we say... Every paraglider in the world uses our platform, I'm not a paraglider and it wasn't built for them, but until they saw Ayvri, they had no way of sharing their flights. People just didn't get what it was all about, and it was difficult to learn from other pilots about flying in different regions and conditions. Then came the cyclists and mountain bikers, I'm a mountain biker, and I'd describe a trail, we could take photos, and maps, but with Ayvri, you just watch it and get it. There's no mental load in trying to translate a map into a 3D space. And you can zoom in or out and spin around to get different perspectives, it's better than being there! Then came the drone pilots, and commercial pilots that needed to report on their flights, particularly when there is an incident. Now instead of trying to decode an elevation map with an altitude map, with a 2d map, they can just replay their flight and show that they either didn't break the law, or .... then came the wildlife researchers, this gave them a way to plot and follow the pahts of migration, and see how those paths have changed over time....and on and on and on.... So rather than just a "you can create a 2D or 3D experience", it would be great if you can pin what that 2D or 3D experience should be all about, otherwise, it's just....yeah, I can...but why should I? |
We supported an event with an education company that mentors students. Over the pandemic they went virtual and were interested in finding a way to have the students connect to each other more and build relationships with each other.
Zoom made this hard since only one person could talk at a time and you had to speak to 60 people. Its more akin to standing up at a hall and speaking to a crowd.
When they stepped into the space and realized that they could walk up to each other and have personal conversations the engagement was off the charts. They formed groups of 3-4 and just started talking like they would in real-life. People moved from one group to another when they wanted to meet other students and the our flew by.
Those experiences are at the core of what makes the experience special. Putting people into the same room no matter where they are!
