Idea

Odyssey is a B2B Saas virtual event platform for event producers of Fortune 500 companies, allowing attendees to interact like they are in person by immersing them in a high visual fidelity 3D world.

Current Status

In market. Served Boeing and Wunderman Thompson as customers.

Market

The individual who works as a full-time employee for a Fortune 500 company managing their events.

We also use Value Added Resellers whose clients are the full-time event managers at Fortune 500 companies.

Problem or Opportunity

Over the past 18-months producers of Fortune 500 events have had to turn their in-person events into virtual events. In so doing, they have realized a larger audience size. Now they are beginning to go back to in-person events but they need to preserve the larger audience reach they gained from their virtual events. To do this they are delivering a virtual event in tandem with their in-person event. Unfortunately, their virtual attendees are missing out on key in-person communication and immersion experiences.

Solution (product or service)

Odyssey allows virtual attendees to communicate and feel immersed in the same way that they would be attending an event in person. Odyssey does this by delivering a 3D virtual world through a users web browser, allowing them to navigate and interact as they would in person.

Competitors

Three types of virtual event platforms: 2D video, Spatialized video, 3D virtual worlds

Our direct competitors are 3D virtual world platforms. Virbela is incumbent in space.

Advantages or differentiators

Odyssey creates a goldilocks zone in the market by delivering a low barrier of entry with high visual fidelity. This is done using nascent technology (pixel streaming) that allows Odyssey to be delivered to the end-user through a web browser.
