Lookport is an international event technology company specializing in virtual reality (VR) streaming, AI-powered ticketing, and hybrid event solutions. It was founded in 2019 by entrepreneur Alex Volk. Lookport operates globally, with a core team based in London and regional partners across Europe and other territories.
History
[edit]Lookport was launched in 2019 to explore the intersection of immersive technology and live entertainment. Its first services were focused on 360-degree VR broadcasts of concerts and cultural events. The platform later expanded to offer high-quality 2D livestreams, pay-per-view access, and smart ticketing infrastructure driven by machine learning algorithms.[1]
Services
[edit]Lookport allows users to access concerts, theater productions, and music festivals via web browsers, smartphones, and VR headsets. Its proprietary streaming engine supports up to 8K video and spatial audio, creating an immersive event experience. No additional software is required, making the service device-agnostic.[2]
Partnerships
[edit]The company has collaborated with a wide range of artists and cultural institutions. Notable streamed performances and projects include:
- A festival performance by Thirty Seconds to Mars
- The global environmental music campaign Only One Antarctica, featuring Jess Glynne and supported by Greenpeace and ASOC[3]
- Virtual shows with artists such as Imany, Pain, Die Antwoord, and Nothing But Thieves[4]
- Digital collaborations with Paris Fashion Week and various theater institutions[5]
Technology
[edit]Lookport’s technology stack includes adaptive bitrate VR streaming, AI-driven ticket pricing, fraud detection, and interactive audience analytics. These tools enable event promoters to run hybrid events with optimized reach and monetization.[6]
