Guests at today's events, presentations, and parties do not want to be outside observers; they want to be immersed and become active participants. Interactive shows make people feel like they are part of a vibrant and unforgettable event that they will remember forever.
In this article, we will explore some original ideas for masterclasses and interactive events that can be arranged for any type of occasion. Some of these are just becoming popular or have rarely been used in the event industry, allowing your event to stand out. Depending on the theme of the event or party, you can choose the interactive element that will most effectively immerse the audience in the style of your event.
Snippets of laser harp interactives and masterclasses on TV shows
This video shows how we taught Penelope Cruz's family to play the laser harp for a Spanish TV show, as well as the jury of a talent contest and the presenters of the TV show "SuperIntuition."
The laser harp is an original musical instrument that uses laser beams instead of strings. When a person touches the beams with their hand, sensors detect this and generate sound.
The unique combination of music and light show makes this innovative musical instrument an ideal choice for interactive performances at parties, corporate events, futuristic presentations, and events with hi-tech, neon, laser, or modern themes.
The laser harp can be integrated into an event in two ways. First, an impressive 10-minute show where the soloist (Olga Rossi) plays the laser harp with different sounds and sings in opera, folk (authentic), and pop styles.
We can then invite some of your guests on stage to try their hand at being musical.
Guests can improvise on the laser harp themselves or take part in a masterclass where the soloist explains how to play this futuristic musical instrument.
We can change the sound of the laser harp for each person (from familiar classical instruments to all kinds of electronic effects).
As well as being used on stage, the laser harp can also be featured in a special interactive area where guests can play it with headphones.
You won't find a more futuristic experience anywhere else.
One of the top seven most interesting interactive zones for modern events is the Virtual Reality Zone.
The VR zone allows guests to immerse themselves in virtual worlds, play games, travel, or take part in interactive presentations.
The use of VR helmets creates a sense of presence and ensures maximum immersion.
For a new car launch, Mercedes-Benz used VR helmets to allow guests to take a virtual tour of the factory and see the car production process from the inside, increasing interest in the new model.
Another example is an event hosted by Virgin Galactic, which offered guests a VR tour of a future spaceship where everyone could feel like an astronaut.
Another interactive technology option for an event could be augmented reality. AR integrates digital objects into real space, and guests can interact with virtual objects using their smartphones or AR glasses.
This is a great way to showcase new products or create an unforgettable experience.
For example, at a conference on modern architecture and design, guests could create digital objects integrated into real space (design projects, construction solutions, renovations) and participate in interactive presentations where information was displayed in the form of three-dimensional holograms.
At a Google corporate event, participants used smartphones to search for virtual objects (in the form of icons for company applications) located in the real office space.
Using projectors and cameras, you can create an interactive installation in any part of the venue (be it the entrance, hall, dance floor, or even buffet tables).
You can transform one wall or the entire room into an interactive landscape: a forest with animals that react to the approach of a person, or a space station with robots that interact with the event's guests.
In addition to entertaining guests, these AR games can also be used to showcase new corporate technologies.
Another application of this technology could be the creation of an interactive floor where guests have to dance or walk on the virtual objects created.
Such entertaining tasks contribute to better interaction between event guests.
A good example of game entertainment at a party would be a giant installation of chess, Tetris, mazes, and other logic games.
Video projection can also be used to enhance the evening's program and create an even brighter impression. For example, some specialized restaurants accompany the serving of food with visual projections on the food and the table.
A special colorful showpiece for your event can be the performance of a charming singer in a 3D dress.
The content projected onto the dress can perfectly match the theme of your presentation, party, conference, or corporate event.
One of the most traditional, yet no less exciting, activities is an interactive dance masterclass with the participation of professional dancers. Depending on the theme of your event, you can choose costumes that match the music, ranging from jazz swing to electronic music with light elements or neon accessories.
The main advantage of interactive dance is that it liberates the audience and creates an active, positive atmosphere.
For example, you can invite our professional dancer, a European champion in tap dancing, to perform an exciting dance and then create a flash mob with your guests (lasting about 10-15 minutes).
Create an interactive themed photo booth that showcases your event theme and allows guests to interact with it.
This can include digital frames, lighting effects, or a green screen to change backgrounds and create photos in different virtual locations.
Everyone wants an original photo that can be saved as a keepsake and shared on social networks, ultimately promoting your event.
For example, at the launch of a new Samsung smartphone, a large photo zone in the form of a smartphone was installed, where people could change the background or other elements of their choice.
One of the most exciting interactive areas of your event can be the 3D printing area. With one or more 3D printers, guests can create and print their own 3D models. This is not only an exciting masterclass in modern production technology but also a great way to create a souvenir of your corporate event or presentation.
Develop a mobile application that acts as a guide for your event guests. The application can include information about the program of events, an interactive map, registration options for masterclasses, and voting. You can also use the app to send push notifications with reminders and important information.
Mobile apps can be used to conduct live polls or surveys that allow guests to actively participate in the event. This could be a vote for the best act, best costume, or even a poll on themes for future events. Such interactions not only add interest but also provide organizers with valuable information about audience preferences.
Automated bars or cafes, where drinks and snacks are prepared and served by robots, create an immersive atmosphere and a unique interactive experience for guests. It is worth noting that the robots that work in this format do not look like people or conform to our usual understanding of robots. Instead, these are robotic bar counters where drinks are prepared by one or two programmed robotic arms according to guests' orders.
For more than 10 years, mobile robots have also been appearing at various events, combining the functions of host, promoter, and waiter.
Such self-propelled robots have been used to serve customers at exhibitions, restaurants, and various events.
Using a screen and voice guidance, the robot can answer basic questions from customers or guests at your event, creating a special interactive experience and communication through modern technology.
Interactive elements at gala events, presentations, and corporate events can significantly increase guests' interest and involvement. All you have to do is choose the right interactive elements to match the concept of the event. A laser harp, augmented reality, or a robot bartender can be key elements in creating an unforgettable corporate event, party, or presentation. The main objective is to create pleasant memories for your guests, which they will remember for a long time thanks to these unusual interactive elements.
If you are organizing a private event, corporate event, or wedding, you can see some of the original shows and artists in the "Best Shows" and "Artists" sections of the website.
