OZ enables creators and their communities to experience participatory live streaming. Sign up here if you're interested in joining the beta program! Let's Go! OZ is set for commercial release in the coming months. The avatars will be also compatible with the Ready Player Me platform, making them available in over 450 apps and games.” The integration will enable creators to create their personal avatars with a selfie and use it to share engaging and interactive content for their audiences. Timmu Toke, CEO & Founder of Ready Player Me: “We are excited to bring Ready Player Me avatars to the OZ platform. By adding additional avatars to choose from, our users benefit from more choice and more freedom to customize and express themselves." We offer the audience a way of entering the experience as participants, including appearing within the broadcast as their own avatar and affecting what is happening in the live stream. Gudjon Gudjonsson, OZ CEO & Founder: "Still, most streams limit interactions between the creators and communities to a text box or reaction icons in a limited area of the video screen. OZ also recently launched the OZ Builder Kit for Unreal Engine to the developer marketplace, where 3D artists can transform any environment into a participatory experience. In 2021, OZ launched its Founding Creators Program, building and testing its free-to-play model with creators from sports, gaming, music and other communities. At the start of the year, OZ hosted the world's largest fully virtual New Year's Eve party, which saw attendees transform themselves into avatars as they danced the night away to the music of Sigur Rós and Kaleo. Named on Fast Company's annual list of the World's Most Innovative Companies for 2021, OZ puts participatory live streaming into the hands of creators. By integrating avatars, live voice and casual gamification in high-fidelity experiences, OZ is moving the game forward in an undoubtedly elevated user experience. As opposed to the traditional consumptive experience, OZ transports creators and their communities to destinations that will set the tone for the future of live streaming. The announcement follows the recent integration of Snap's Bitmoji avatars within OZ and highlights the drive to give creators and communities the tools to engage and participate like never before.
The partnership enables the integration of Ready Player Me avatars within the OZ experience, from a single selfie within OZ.
Combining forces, the two companies are providing users maximum customization in participatory live streaming. We live in a changed world where the rapid growth of the digital persona in social communities and accessibility of high-fidelity 3D environment creation open up a fresh and exciting era for live streaming - the new digital home for fans.Īdding energy to this reality is the exciting new partnership between OZ and Wolf3D. This new kind of virtual experience is called "Participatory Streaming", and it is here to stay.
OZ takes live streaming to a new level by allowing creators and their communities to interact via avatars in real time during events and happenings where they participate in the construction of the creator content. Those were the days when fans, creators and their communities spread around the internet, interacting with their favorite sports team, video game or musical artist through faulty chat boxes, groups on social media or blog sites.
