Can traditional media maintain its independence in an age dominated by influencers and social media? Join us as Kevin Williams, an expert in the location-based entertainment industry, shares his insights on the shifting media landscape and its impact on entertainment trends. We explore the reliance on social media for election updates, the blurred lines between opinion and journalism, and the role of pay-for-editorial models. Kevin opens up about his personal experiences navigating editorial control and the industry’s preference for the familiar over the innovative, with many still favoring traditional redemption machines over new immersive technologies.
In a world where transparency is key, we tackle the significance of AI in content creation and disclosing conflicts of interest, before diving into Sandbox VR’s ambitious expansion plans. With a goal to open 280 facilities, Sandbox VR faces the challenge of keeping location-based VR experiences fresh and exciting amidst competition from Zero Latency. Kevin also delves into the evolution of arcade games, spotlighting the resurgence of shooting games and the trend toward immersive enclosures that promise a sensory extravaganza. From Vassaro’s racing simulators to historical milestones like Atari’s Battle Zone, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights on the ever-evolving intersection of media, technology, and entertainment.
