Hilton Tokyo has teamed up with technology consultant and solutions provider Vega Global to offer new tech facilities designed to support in-person, hybrid and online business events, consolidating its position as one of the leading MICE venues in Japan.
The facilities comprise a complete virtual production studio furnished with the latest equipment and a large, curved LED wall in the Kiku Ballroom. Both are fully supported by on-site experts from Vega Global’ s Japan office who can provide services such as pre- and post-production, all carried out while event organizers are either abroad or in Japan. Business event organizers can use the installations in a standalone capacity or in addition to other meeting spaces in Hilton Tokyo, for live-streaming and broadcasting, creating pre-recorded video, and attending meetings remotely.
The studio utilizes the latest game engine software and cinema-grade hardware, combined with specialized VR, XR and spatial audio capabilities, allowing the creation of high-quality content. This content can be streamed simultaneously from the studio to the LED screen, thereby facilitating meetings that require breakout spaces such as panel discussions and workshops.
Roger Brantsma, general manager of Hilton Tokyo, said: “We see great opportunities for the studio and LED wall beyond the pandemic especially with the rising cost of travel and many companies looking at their carbon footprint in line with their SDG goals.”
Coupled with the expertise of Vega staff, Hilton Tokyo’s new facilities have the potential to transform interactions at business meetings and the way events and their content is produced.
Jimmy Heil, managing consultant of new media technology, Vega Japan, said: “Content creators, game developers, movie directors and new media artists can benefit immensely from having these tools at their disposal in a rental location, to create their next generation of content. As professionals in both technology and creative artistry, Vega Global is uniquely positioned to support these clients in the comfort of the Hilton environment.”
