2009 has been a very successful year for Musion, seeing them walk away
as winners from both the 2009 LiveCom Awards and the 2009 Global Telecoms
Business Innovation Awards. Musion were recognised for their achievements
in the International Entertainment Experience category and the Advanced
Video Services Innovation category respectively. Congratulations must
also be extended to Square Zero, who were highly commended for their
work on Frank Sinatra , and a flight simulator, adding to the ever-growing
collection of impressive collaborations with Musion.
Musion is proud to announce that it came away
as the winner of the ‘International Entertainment Experience Award’
at this year’s IVCA LiveCom Awards 2009 at the Brewery, London.
The IVCA LiveCom Awards, sponsored by drpgroup, are one of the UK’s
most prestigious award programmes for the Live Events and Experiential
Marketing industry, made more so by the fact that work is judged by
Live Events experts independently and without knowledge of the entrants.
The IVCA LiveCom Awards judges stated: “This was a clever adaptation
of technology to deliver multi-site real time entertainment experience.
The event created tremendous energy and enthusiasm from its target audience.”
Ian O’Connell, Director of Musion, commented: “We are delighted
and honoured to win at the highly prestigious LiveCom Awards. The high
volume of fans in attendance at the Tokio Hotel gigs is testament to
the status of holographic telepresence as a fantastic new video medium
and this recognition highlights our pioneering approach to developing
leading technology in the 21st century.” Furthermore, with the
number of YouTube hits for the Tokio Hotel virtual tour performances
soaring the 500,000 mark this month, the credentials of viral marketing
for this type of event are ever strengthened.
In addition to the LiveCom Awards, Musion
were also proud to win the “Advanced Video Services Innovation”
award at the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards in 2009, for a
pioneering project which showed the world’s first live interactive
3D hologram communication to be demonstrated from a permanently installed
line connection.
