Immersive Audio Increasing in Popularity

Immersive audio has been around for some time, but its popularity is growing within the professional AV community. Immersive audio also commonly known as spatial sound and 3D sound. Post-Covid, immersive audio has become more popular due to the fact that it allows social distancing since a group does not have to crowd to one side of the room to hear the audio.

Important Figures in AV: Vladimir Zworykin

Priorities in Order

If you were to ask anyone about hazardous professions, they might mention police officers, roofers, or North Sea fishermen. However, it's uncommon for them to consider show business as posing significant risks.

Unfortunately, many stagehands and technicians sustain serious injuries annually while working on productions. What's even more disheartening is that a significant portion of these accidents could have been prevented by adhering to safety protocols and wearing appropriate protective gear. As shows resume and many of us return to work on gigs, it's crucial to pause and address safety concerns.

AV Technology Trends Changing the Industry

The impact of AV (Audio-Visual) technology has been nothing short of revolutionary across various sectors, spanning from healthcare and education to retail. Its integration has empowered businesses to deliver enriched immersive experiences, streamline communication protocols, and boost operational efficiency. Whether it's leveraging immersive simulations for medical training, interactive virtual classrooms for remote learning, or augmented reality for enhancing retail shopping experiences, AV technology is reshaping industries by providing innovative solutions to age-old challenges.

In 1964, Gene became one of the pioneering holographers globally, a role that led him to collaborate with Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, laying the groundwork for what eventually evolved into the Holodeck, famously featured in Next Generation.

One of Gene's most significant contributions was the invention of the world's first LCD projector. This invention was widely licensed to companies such as Radio Shack, Samsung, and Panasonic, marking a pivotal moment in visual technology.

Today, LCD projectors have become ubiquitous in business presentations and educational settings. Their portability makes them convenient for transportation and setup, while built-in speakers enhance their suitability for multimedia presentations.
