Experiential agency Red Paper Heart brought the event to life with several tech-forward installations, including "The Power of Water" (pictured), a narrated visual journey of water through the company’s history with real-time immersion in 3D “water.” The installation used Unreal Engine to transform static LED walls and murals into an immersive pool of water, ice, and mist that reacted to attendees as they walked through it. Another highlight was "The Spark," a 3D illumination logo that burned brighter and shifted animations in real time to reflect the ebb and flow of activity through the event—burning brightest with Kelly Clarkson’s closing performance.Photo: Courtesy of Red Paper HeartIn Case You Missed ItThis month, BizBash's editors wrote about a wide variety of events—including in-person, hybrid, and even fully virtual—that showcase the power of technology.
