Virtual Glow started as an online performance, but has rapidly evolved and taken on a life of its own. Now the live virtual immersive environment is boasting an awe-inspiring production setup that is on par with the Operation Glow experience Glowers have come to know and love. With tour-grade lights, high-powered lasers, cutting-edge visuals, and addicting engagement features, Virtual Glow is sparing no expense when it comes to creating arguably the most immersive and interactive real-time live event seen in recent times.
Virtual Glow Mission is a graphic experience that features high quality motion graphics over multiple screens and incorporates your branding colors and shapes for a personalized experience. VG Add-On’s visual experience is the same visual systems in your Mission of choice made virtual. Each relay stunning effects everyone loves.
Don’t worry, all of this will be made easy by your Operation Glow account where you will be able to plan all of this with ease.
Just as in our in-person experiences, VG includes our well-known talented Chicago DJs behind the decks, broadcasting live through multiple cameras, and reading Glowers for the next best song as they call-in. Different from our regular shows, participants will be able to request and upvote songs – if there is enough interest in a song, it may just be played!
For this online experience, different from our in-person musical experiences, DJs tend to play a wide variety of music with a EDM and hip-hop focus.
Glowers will be able to video call-in (no audio) to Operation Glow via webcam on phone, laptop, or tablet and be featured on the top right corner of the livestream. We set a delay and have someone watching callers 10 seconds before they are broadcasted, just in case they do something unbefitting 🙂
Throughout the livestream, Glowers will be able to control the color of production and other aspects of the experience along with personal questions such as trivia about your organization/event/theme.
An interactive chat operator will work the chat participants and keep them engaged. You can expect a whole Operation Glow personality that’s responding and creating content to see and interact with. “Put a <3 in the chat if you love this song!”
Whether you have VG Mission or VG Add-On, we will spray the included physical effect at cameras to simulate attending in person. VG Mission includes UV Paint whereas another Mission may include something line UV Foam, UV Powder, and UV Snow.
What makes this even more real is if you add our UV Face Paint to make things tangible.
We create a custom webpage on our site designated for your community. On the page you may find:
Hosts have the opportunity to design a GlowGram for their participants. Hosts can choose from several accessories and then our GlowGram service. The GlowGram service makes it possible for us to individually package each bundle of accessories with the URL/link to Virtual Glow. We will ship the GlowGrams to you for the final distribution via mailbox, pickup stations, UPS, etc.
No matter where Glowers are at in the world, you can give the gift of physical glow.
We’ll be able to give you a metrics report after the experience to show you how it went! The report may include:
Our virtual photo booth offers another layer of interaction where:
Besides all of our interaction features and metrics that lets us know how many participants are in attendance, you have the option to enable an email and name capture. This works well if you want to identify if someone misbehaved online 🙂
With everything you just read, it takes a whole studio, 7 computers, 600ft of XLR cables, and a team of at-least 4 experienced professionals to properly relay one of our virtual experiences. Even if we are on-site, we are still using our studio to process your event.
One of the most interactive online events built with layers of personalization, customization, and engagement for audiences of all sizes.
Add our virtual photo booth for another layer of interaction right on your event page. Use the media generated by the virtual photo booth on your social media and marketing campaigns for months to come. We will provide you a graphic designer to create you a custom digital frame.
In addition to Tier 1 features, guests will have access to a number of novelty features including an AI background removal feature for pristine photo quality. You will also see all the photos taken LIVE as they come in, made possible with a personal photo booth operator and shared cloud folder.
On your event page we will place a virtual photo booth. Upon virtual entry and camera approval, guests will see a custom designed picture frame about your event around themselves. After a photo is taken with the picture frame, they will be able to share the photo(s) immediately. You will get a copy of all the photos after the event so you can post them as desired.
Give participants something tangible to attend with! Elevate your Virtual Glow experience by attaching Accessories and our GlowGram Service. By opting into our GlowGram service, we will individually pack the accessories so you can distribute them easily. The GlowGram service also includes special tape or ribbon that will display the URL/link to access the experience! We have many different types of accessories, including some that may include your logo!

A percentage based cost exists (VG Studio pricing includes this cost in quote) because of the Performance Rights Organizations (PROs) that we have to partner with to host your event online, on our website domain, with music that is owned by their artists. If you’ve heard of ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, these are PROs. PROs will take a percentage of the entire event and charge us for each song that we play online – they then pay their music writers for their copyright content that we used.
The point of contact will hold the masters account and if there are others on your team, they can be added as planners. The master account holder has access to everything including financials and service information. Planner account holders will have access to the planning forms only.
We were the first in the USA for-hire using this physical effect!
There was a time when no one knew what this was. Paint?!! Is that safe!?! Absolutely. Our water based paint gets mixed on-site so it is fresh and not sitting in a warehouse. The paint is 97% water and the rest is food-grade and cosmetically approved ingredients. Paint is dispersed from the stage so we are in control of where it lands, for the most part. If indoor, our venue protection is a must. When the paint dries, it solidifies into a dust and can be wiped right off any hard surface!
We use studio monitors in the studio hear what we are broadcasting to ensure the highest quality auditory experience.
We use industry standard DJ equipment, namely Pioneer’s top of the line. It is the same equipment installed in the top clubs around the world.
What’s better than intelligent lighting / sound active? A professional Lighting Designer (LD). Why? Lighting scenes are not on a loop, the visuals will always go to the music including high energy parts, scenes are built to the location architecture, and more visual value is delivered. Furthermore, if you are looking at a video system, lighting system, laser system, or special effects, an LD combines these system into one control desk for a synchronous visual experience.
We use studio monitors in the studio hear what we are broadcasting to ensure the highest quality auditory experience.
We purposely the mention the brand Shure because they make one of the most reliable wireless microphone systems that exist in the world, not to mention their quality. Your package will declare the quantity of microphones and the microphone system itself. If you have multiple microphones, we may bump you up to an antenna distributor with L/R paddles. for tour-grade directional connections.
These are used to enhance the UV lighting and bring other colors into the mix!
The OG team is highly trained in power management, balancing loads over several circuits so even if the location has improper power, the show can go on. Power is always tested by OG before anything is plugged in so we know what we are dealing with.
However, location power isn’t always reliable. Buildings can have old power circuits, several utilities (refrigerators, vending machines) on a circuit that we have to use, or even have spotty or improper voltage. The last thing you want is a loss of a circuit at your event and a 15 minute recovery time as we boot up our major systems again.
Even with a full loss of power, our recovery time will be seconds because of this battery backup system! Depending on the missions, we may be able to temporarily run all systems off of this battery backup system, until power is restored.
