Exciting Updates from IKIN — January 2022 Newsletter

What an incredible year we’ve had in 2021! We hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we did, but now that last year is up it’s time to focus on 2022. So much to accomplish: trade show efforts, press, consumer launches, the commercial use of the IKIN ARC as it relates to B2B opportunities. And, as always, continued efforts on partnership development to bring IKIN’s technology to the world stage. IKIN is applying a futurist mindset to our business model and technology rollouts, and we are excited to share a wealth of development and planning with you in the years ahead.

To aid in this vision, IKIN Co-founder/CTO Taylor Scott is launching a new podcast series that begins in January and is all about IKIN’s endeavors. Taylor will be providing our supporters with behind-the-scenes insights into our operation, while providing keen context in ways only he can.

IKIN is also making the rounds of prestige publications like SIGNAL Magazine and the BBC, ensuring that our brand recognition continues to grow within the tech industry–local and international. And, on the ground, IKIN is bringing our unique knowledge and technology to industry expos starting this month, with stops at CES, ITEXPO, and possibly Mobile World Congress.

Lastly, check out some of our social media highlights from last month, including a couple of select video quotes from Taylor and I about the origins of IKIN and its promising future.

Continue onward to read more about all the exciting IKIN action, past, present, and future.
Thank you and all the best,

Joe Ward, IKIN CEO & Co-founder

As we take our first steps into the new year, we proudly reflect on the good work we’ve done in the past. Throughout 2021, we have been ecstatic with the overwhelmingly positive responses we’ve had to the IKIN ARC and our testing of the RYZ. And, while it is important to recognize past accomplishments, our eyes are set squarely on the future. IKIN is currently operating on a 2-3 year timeline of planned rollouts. We can’t wait to show the world our growing technology and business applications in the years to follow.

Of IKIN’s future plans, Creative Director of Innovation, Jim Stiefelmaier, says he’s very excited about the company’s coming role in shaping the future of virtual worlds as 3D content becomes an incredibly valuable digital resource. “Through both our holographic display and high-resolution 3D scanning efforts, IKIN is uniquely positioned to become the content creator for an entirely new digital medium. I like to describe IKIN to my friends this way: ‘IKIN allows you to capture what you love most in the world and share it with everyone as a hologram.’ I’m so grateful to be part of a very talented group of visionaries bringing this mantra to reality.”

“Can you imagine resurrecting the Matrix with Holograms?” Technical Director of Innovations Karl Post adds, “IKIN can. Soon, utilizing the RYZ, you will be able to visualize an entirely different world.”

Keep your eyes on IKIN and we’ll keep our eyes on the future. Together we’ll build a new era of 3D digital interactions and applications.

To help illustrate our future plans, IKIN Co-founder and CTO Taylor Scott is launching a new podcast series produced by our Marketing Guru Laura Lewis of LaLaPow. The podcast will focus on IKIN’s industry-leading technology, with Taylor providing the context, commentary, and futurist vision for where that tech may go and the multitude of ways it may be applied. Highlight behind-the-scenes testing and use cases, explore emerging benefits, and pin down the shifting consumer behaviors motivating our applications with Taylor as your guide to everything IKIN past, present, and future. Coming to you in January 2022.

IKIN has been gracing the pages of some big-name tech publications lately. Most recently, SIGNAL Magazine spoke at length with IKIN Co-founder/CEO Joe Ward and Front Line Advisory Group Vice President Chad Lawson regarding their partnership to deliver volumetric solutions to specific commands within the U.S. Department of Defense. The conversation centered around the strategic advantages holograms provide in tactical settings, including training, battlefield operations, and other environments. IKIN also got a nod at the tail end of this BBC article about how holograms are primed to supplant traditional video calls, making December 2021 a good month for IKIN brand awareness.

IKIN is at CES in Las Vegas this week from January 5-8 meeting with potential industry partners, distribution channels, and content partners. Next month we’re headed to ITEXPO in Fort Lauderdale from February 8-11 where our very own CTO Taylor Scott will be giving one of the event’s keynote addresses, and he and CEO Joe Ward will also partake in panel discussions. And, last but not least, IKIN is investigating a return to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress from February 28-March 3 as we continue to identify strategic partnerships within the European market. 2022 is off to a big start for IKIN. Follow us on social to see all the action as it emerges.
