- 3D Interactive Virtual Events as a Solution to Event Cancellations Facing Coronavirus Issues
- The Coronavirus crisis has significantly reduced participation at international events around the world
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The concerning situation with the coronavirus outbreak has caused event organizers to face the decision of cancelling or delaying international events in order to minimize the risk of contagion. Given the seriousness of the circumstances, the technological company Virtway and its partner Walcon Virtual offer event organizers with a possible solution: creating a virtual 3D version of their event. Companies considering cancelling could still use the virtual 3D platform, where event participants could access with their mobile devices within a secure digital environment.
Virtway, a company from Spain, has developed its own technological product, creating 3D worlds that allow hundreds of simultaneous users to interact and communicate via real-time voice through customized avatars from any device, resulting in a life-like user experience. In their unique digital environment, companies can participate, present, showcase and network interactively. These digital versions of any event are compatible with physical congresses and fairs where attendees can enjoy live presentations and networking opportunities.
Multiple international events are following strict preventative safety measures due to the Coronavirus outbreak, yet despite this, many companies are still considering whether to cancel their attendance.
The unfortunate situation that led GSMA to cancel Mobile World Congress 2020 together with a growing demand for more sustainable events, makes virtual 3D events a perfect complement to physical events. They offer the opportunity to expand audience reach, to directly engage with participants, and in cases such as the MWC event, a place where people could still come together without putting their health at risk."3D technology is constantly evolving, available now not just for entertainment purposes, but also expanding into the business world," said José Antonio Tejedor, CEO and founder of Virtway.
