Innovating the Fan Experience by Merging Tradition with Innovation

 To celebrate one of the biggest moments in SEC history—the addition of powerhouse programs UT and OU—the XR Hall of History launched, combining cutting-edge XR and hologram technology to connect the past with the future. Through interactive, immersive experiences, fans explored the legacy of SEC schools, creating a deeper connection with the conference’s storied past while embracing the future of fan engagement..

Immersive Next-Gen Experiences

At SEC Media Days, the Hall of History debuted, featuring an interactive virtual tour of SEC legends, powered by 8th Wall. Without the need for app downloads, fans could easily engage with the experience via their mobile devices. Using Hypervsn hologram fan technology, the event also featured stunning, high-speed holographic displays that captivated audiences with larger-than-life visuals.

  • Now: We connected with SEC fans through immediate, interactive storytelling at the Hall of History, enabling real-time exploration of the conference’s legendary history.

  • Near: Continued engagement will be fostered by expanding the Hall of History across multiple SEC events, ensuring fans can engage year-round with new content and experiences.

  • Next: The next step in this initiative will involve deeper integration of AI-driven, immersive fan environments across both physical and digital SEC fan experiences, scaling the technology to new heights in interactive fan engagement.

 

Next-Gen Production Techniques: Driving Real Results
