TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 21, 2015) - ARHT Media Inc. ("ARHT") (TSX VENTURE:ART) (OTCQB:ARHTF) and Ticketmaster Canada are pleased to announce they are working together to showcase the application of ARHT's Augment Reality Holographic Technology Platform in entertainment venues and retail environments, which commenced last week at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba and at the Canadian Music Week in Toronto, Ontario.
Commenting, Chief Operating Officer of Ticketmaster Canada, Patti-Anne Tarlton said "the MTS Centre and Canadian Music Week are the start of an exciting relationship that will demonstrate ARHT's robust technology across a number of events, venues and retail settings."
ARHT Media's patent-pending technology platform and 3D display products provide a scalable, repeatable and transportable form of 3D without the use of special glasses. This unique platform makes it possible for people to engage with human holograms (HumaGrams™) and cinematic quality content powered by a proximity-based, programmatic engine that dynamically curates a measurable viewing experience targeted to each viewer. Together, this technology stack creates a form of differentiated engagement that has never been seen before - by consumers and marketers.
Ticketmaster connects millions of fans every year to the hottest shows, most in demand sporting events, and once in a lifetime family events. Ticketmaster Canada is part of Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading live entertainment company. Live Nation Entertainment held over 20,000 events, sold over 150 million tickets across a fan base totaling 55 million, and generated just under $7 billion in revenue in 2014.
"ARHT is pleased to be working with entertainment leader Ticketmaster Canada, whose commitment to providing so many fans access to virtually every event in the nation has transformed the Canadian fan experience. We are excited to see our technology deployed across a number of entertainment and retail applications in key areas where engagement, data capture and analytics are missing today. Our goal is to drive increased engagement across promotion, advertising and fan monetization using our robust data capture and real-time analytics to intelligently drive a targeted user experience in some of the biggest and best venues across Canada."" said Paul Duffy CEO of ARHT Media Inc.
