New York — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Yoop, an entertainment company empowering fans and creators through live events, announced the creation of Yoop eSpace, a new immersive virtual venue designed to bring fans and artists closer together during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the future.
Yoop eSpace serves as a multi-functional virtual venue that allows content providers to create and stream high quality events to fans worldwide through an immersive format that allows audiences to interact in real-time. It is a platform of products designed to deliver a new level of virtual experiences and will make its US debut in June with a diverse lineup of talent across the music, sports, business, and education sectors.
“Our virtual venue has been in development for several years and we’ve prioritized it for launch in light of the COVID-19 climate and subsequent reimagining of live events,” said Benoit Fredette, founder and CEO of Yoop. I’m proud that this platform will create opportunities for many in the entertainment industry to return to work in a safe way.”
The platform allows audience members and presenters to engage in two-way visual and audio communication throughout events. Among the first to leverage this innovative virtual event experience are Sofi Tukker, the band that has been pioneering live online performances throughout the pandemic, and soccer legend Thierry Henry.
Yoop eSpace is designed to be content- and event producer-agnostic, and its highly customizable capabilities allow it to be leveraged for a wide spectrum of content. Those that utilize Yoop eSpace will have the opportunity to make their events public or private, set a specific or unlimited capacity, and tailor event formats to their type of content, whether they are event producers, artists, teams, athletes, speakers, corporate presenters, etc.
The platform can also be added to existing studios and venues. Users will be able to pay on-demand to watch live performances and events as well as view events for up to 24 hours after the live performance.
