Hybrid Stage Event

For the European Patent Office, K5 Factory designed and realized a real-time avatar experience for one of the organization’s largest virtual events. In the spirit of innovation, the avatar was integrated as an equal participant within the live program rather than a purely visual element.

Using state-of-the-art real-time face-tracking technology, the avatar was animated live, capturing the speaker’s voice and facial expressions backstage and translating them instantly into the digital character. The result was presented on a 12-meter-wide LED wall, creating a seamless connection between physical performance and virtual presence.

The project demonstrated how real-time avatars can extend live communication formats — combining technology, performance, and storytelling to create a new form of engaging, hybrid event experience.
