The cross-reality event platform

Like many others in the event industry, we were unable to hold any real events at the start of 2020. Germany’s sixth-largest economic sector, the culture and events industry, with a turnover of 170 billion euros and over 1.8 million employees, was no exception. That’s why we looked for new solutions to continue participating in cultural life.

The XRevent platform offers the opportunity to link physical and virtual events and to create social, interactive and three-dimensional live experiences for visitors. An integrated ticket shop turns the virtual event back into a source of income for artists and organisers. This offers the opportunity to offer events internationally and for new target groups.

With the XRevent Creator, individual events such as concerts, theatre and stage shows, conferences, club events, exhibitions and trade fairs can be created without any programming effort.

The workflow for setting up a real event is taken into account and transferred to the virtual event. Standard event equipment such as lighting consoles, video mapping and sound technology can be used to manipulate both events at the same time.

Video and audio signals, as well as Artnet packages, are streamed directly into the VR app. On the real side of the event, the effort is no greater than for a normal live stream.

While the real event takes place as usual, the virtual visitors experience an interactive, social and three-dimensional event simultaneously in VR.

As part of the open source XRevent community, we would like to support you in hosting your own event.
