Elvis Evolution: what the show will be like with holographic Elvis and AI

Opening the celebrations of the 90th anniversary of Elvis Presley, which would take place next year, the King of Rock is the new star honored with the use of artificial intelligence. A show promises to bring together AI and holographic projection to bring the artist back to the stage – something similar to the tour avatars Abba Voyagewho went back in time with the Abba at the height of its success in the 1970s.

Called Elvis Evolution, the show is described as an “immersive concert experience.” Scheduled to premiere in London in November, it should also visit Las Vegas, Tokyo and Berlin.

The show takes place after an agreement between the Authentic Brands Groupowners of Elvis Presley’s estate, and the Layered Realitya British immersive entertainment company.

In it, Elvis will be digitally recreated in life size from thousands of his personal photos and home videos. At its London premiere, the show will also offer a themed bar and restaurant after the event.

“Elvis maintains superstar status globally and people around the world no longer want to just passively receive entertainment – they want to be a part of it,” said Andrew McGuinness, CEO of Layered Reality (via The Guardian).

It is worth remembering that the pioneers of Abba Voyage experienced unprecedented success, with over 1.3 million tickets sold. In the wake of the search, in addition to the tribute to Elvis, the Kiss also revealed that they will continue with their shows even after the group’s retirement, through avatars of themselves, who will have to recreate the band as superheroes.
