Pressbox (Press Release) -
Seattle, WA: New Game+ announced today the launch of their hybrid event platform Odyssey. With the proliferation of virtual events over the past months, companies have grappled with a need to maintain the larger reach that their digital offerings provide while returning to the immersive and interactive environments of in-person experiences. Odyssey is poised to be the preferred enterprise meeting and event tool for organizations as it preserves a company’s digital audience while simultaneously offering the same features and interactions of an in-person event.
“Currently, attendees of virtual events cannot be present with each other in the way they would be in person,” states Reid SantaBarbara, CEO, New Game+. Odyssey offers a variety of brandable interactive spaces that are ideal for any company meeting - from trade shows to social mixers, Odyssey allows companies to create the same experience digitally as they create in-person. From frictionless movement between networking conversations and chance encounters, to interactive and engaging digital elements, to the delivery of high visual fidelity avatars and environments, Odyssey creates wholly unified virtual and hybrid events.
“Odyssey will improve the global experiences of meeting, learning, and sharing,” states Reid SantaBarbara. “To do this, we are starting by helping enterprise teams and their customers have engaging virtual events.” Adding to this, Maxime Long, CTO, New Game+, states “[what] really excites me about Odyssey is how we've been able to leverage the Unreal Engine to not only deliver industry leading graphics for true spatial immersion, but also that we are one of the first teams in the world to utilize [Unreal Engine’s] Pixel Streaming technology to deliver Odyssey’s incredible graphics to a user's device through just an internet connection.”
Odyssey is presently available for use by meeting and event planners looking to create hybrid event experiences that engage, educate, and entertain. For more information on Odyssey, please visit https://odyssey.stream/
