Playmantic
Playmantic is a collaborative XR platform for theater education and practice. The Playmantic mobile application uses AR glasses, 360 degree audio, & voice enabled commands to interact with your virtual rehearsal partner. Playmantic’s learning strategy is based on Active Experiencing Learning Principles to engage students & promote classic theater comprehension.
prioriTIX
PrioriTIX is a new ticketing service that allows you to get your Broadway Season Subscription in a New York Minute. It’s like having season tickets to The Yankees, or The Ballet… but for Broadway!
Worldcast Live
The Worldcast Live platform aims to be the future of immersive brand engagement for consumers at events in the entertainment and education sector. The WCL platform consists of two systems which are the web-based platform that is embedded in the client’s website and the engage app that targets users on their mobile devices. With the two systems, clients can manage their content, monetize their content and use new tools like augmented reality gamification to create a new reward-based experience for patrons and fans at events.
The WCL Engage Network uses patented software to tailor an experience for the end-user that matches their likes and needs. The personal customization allows clients in the education sector or entertainment sector to interact with users in a location or remotely, not worry about IT management, control the narrative, target users by likes and preferences, engage brands of different sectors, produce conversion for brands, connect users at any time and deliver reports about ROI.
