NexTech Music Industry AR App ‘AiRShow’ Launching With New Ticketing Capabilities

exTech AR Solutions, an emerging Augmented Reality events provider, has announced that it’s AirShow app has expanded its technologies and now features in-app purchases and ticketing capabilities which will be open to the public early November. 

AirShow’s Augmented Reality application transforms your favourite music artists into a live interactive hologram which you can see in your own home. Considering the cancellations and restrictions to live music in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the AirShow app provides an engaging and immersive AR experience for music fans. The new ticketing feature provides a much-needed solution for music artists to generate revenue, which NexTech will share in.

NexTech is also developing the ability to create virtual venues for events in the AiRShow app. The virtual venues will feature a real-time 3D environment which the artist’s hologram can be placed in.

The company’s goal is to offer a live streaming version of the performance as an additional feature in the AiRShow app which opens the door to a new communication portal that could rival Facebook's Facetime only in 3D/AR.

CEO of NexTech Evan Gappelberg comments:

“With AiR Show, our goal is to make creating AR human holograms content easy so that anyone can create their own hologram. We want AR to be for everyone. To that end we are building the technology which will allow anyone with the AiRShow app to create their own human hologram of themselves in minutes, no special programming or green screen required. 

He continues 

“we see a global growing demand for human holograms beyond just music. Imagine your favorite motivational speaker, actor, social media star, family member, friend or even politician beaming into your living room as a full size human hologram on demand, we are not as far away from this capability as people might think. 

In fact I beamed my own live hologram from Toronto to LA and it was a WOW! moment for me. I believe that human holograms can quickly become a multi-million-dollar business for us and as the technology advances can disrupt entire industries.”

Gappelberg concluded by stating: 

“It’s a very exciting time for our AR business as the adoption of augmented reality is happening very fast, stimulating us to aggressively hire talent to ramp up our delivery of client projects as well as invest in and accelerate the development of our new AR capabilities. We are in a unique position as we are a diversified company in the fastest growing business segments of the global economy including AR, eCommerce, video conferencing, virtual events, and 3D/AR advertising.”
