New Features at ISE 2020
Two more show features have recently been added to the ISE 2020 content progra. In Hall 14, the VR at ISE feature will contain two very different interactive virtual reality exhibits. Two digital projection Multiview VR systems will be demonstrated, each of which allows up to three people to view and interact with a stereoscopic 3D virtual model. Each person sees the object from their own viewpoint.
The other part of the VR at ISE feature will be an immersive VR theme park ride. Designed and run by Lightspeed Design, this DepthQ VR attraction will take attendees on an interactive fantasy ride through aquatic environments.
A spectacular projection mapping on the RAI’s Elicium building will delight ISE 2020 attendees and Amsterdam locals each evening of the show. The upper floors of the futuristic nine-story building at the front of the exhibition center will be transformed by the projection, specially created for this location. The projection will be produced by ISE and the RAI, supported by seven technology partners.
“I’m very pleased to acknowledge the role of AVIXA, CEDIA and our many content partners in producing such a compelling line-up for ISE 2020," said Mike Blackman, managing director of Integrated Systems Events. "Added to this, the Elicium projection mapping and the VR at ISE feature are two more opportunities for our attendees to ‘Learn. Discover. Be Inspired.’.”
“‘Learn. Discover. Be Inspired.’ is more than a tag line. For an AV professional, it must be at least a career plan, if not a life commitment,” said AVIXA CEO Dave Labuskes, CTS. “We are proud to have been part of the organizing team that brings these brilliant leaders to the ISE stages and implore you to experience as much of them as you can while you’re there.”
