With this 2.0 release and the soon to be released 2.1 version, the company's AR AiR Show app is gearing up to become a full service, AI driven app, with no green screen required so that users can create AR powered human holograms anywhere and by anyone. The AR human holograms will be shareable on social platforms including TikTok with over 1billion DAU, Instagram and Twitter. The company has also had success in testing and is pursuing additional technological advancements within AiR Show including live streaming of human holograms.  

AiR Show 2.0 includes two major feature additions, the integration of QR code scanning and in-app purchasing capabilities. When scanned, the convenient and easily accessible QR code takes a user directly to an experience within AiR Show and can be shared via email, social networks, or even printed. On the other hand, the in-app purchasing capabilities will allow users to purchase premium content. New versions of the app are available on iOS and Android devices and can be easily synced with Nextech’s Virtual Experience Platform (VXP) and other product offerings.

Additionally, the Nextech team is currently working on integrating virtual venues into the app, giving users the ability to see the holograms in an interactive 3D space, in an effort to create a truly immersive concert experience.

 “We are thrilled to release the latest features of our AiR Show app,” says Elliott Rothman, Director of Interactive Experience at Nextech AR. “We’re continuously bringing fundamental changes to the app to create realistic and shareable moments that will bring users together for an unforgettable experience. With AiR Show 2.0’s latest features, we are creating consistency between all of our mobile apps, and this is just the first of many improvements we have in the pipeline.”

Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech AR comments, “Nextech is constantly pushing the envelope on what's possible and looking for new ways to evolve our AR products and technology to deliver best-in-class experiences for all our customers and users.” He continues, “Our team has been hard at work developing the latest technological improvements to bring interactive AR music experiences into the homes of millions globally and with the release of AiR Show’s upcoming features, we’re on our way to becoming the leader in next generation entertainment. Beyond entertainment we see enormous business use cases for our livestreaming human holograms considered to be the ‘holy grail’ of AR. Just imagine instead of a Zoom call using our AiR Show app you just beam into someone's office or home and stand in the room with the other person as if you are actually there, but instead you are on the other side of the country or world. I believe that the technology that we are developing and will soon be launching really has the possibility of changing the world!”

According to the World Economic Forum the music industry generates $50 billion per year and due to COVID19 live performances have been completely shut down, which has opened the door to virtual music events and using AR for VIP interactions.

AiR Show is an app that allows you to watch performances from real people in your own home. Tap on a featured event or use a VIP code to access exclusive content to see music artists appear right in front of you using AR! Now you're able to buy tickets to premium content using an in-app purchase, directly in the app!
