Technology can play a significant role in enhancing the visitor experience at theme parks. Yet, it can be tricky to get the balance right; choosing complicated systems can limit accessibility and distract from creating a fully immersive experience. 

Our panel of themed entertainment experts will dive into best practices in how to layer augmented and virtual reality, mobile apps, interactive displays, RFID technology, and projection mapping. 

Attendees will leave with concrete examples of how they can create truly immersive attractions that leverage technology and prioritize the overall physical experience. 

In this virtual event, each presenting panelist will speak for 5 minutes, followed by a moderated discussion. The discussion will also involve the 4 panelists speaking on the same topic at SATE North America.
