We regularly research new and novel ideas to engage audiences during conferences. We've come across many exciting technologies from VR to on-stage holograms. In particular I found this little guy really interesting - his name's Boris.
He has three other friends (Norris, Doris and Morris) who are all "Life-Sized Humanoid Robots". The robots are "real" robots - can talk, move, interact with humans and are fully programmable for your event.
The makers proclaim that they "were literally made to entertain. created by engineered arts, our life-sized humanoids were designed to delight, charm and amuse an audience. Whether it’s engaging the attention of an eclectic trade show crowd, making jokes as part of an insightful after-dinner speech or delivering strategic messages at a conference, our robots create unforgettable moments."
Using this type of technology is just one of the ways we can transform a presentation into something really engaging and retain the attention of the delegates to deliver important messages, especially for any taxing subjects or when you have a lot of business content - punctuating it with something amusing can make it all the more memorable.
