MediaKind, a global media technology leader, today announced the launch of its new virtual experience, a unique portal that invites the world to explore and engage with the full range of MediaKind content, anytime, anywhere. The MediaKind Virtual Experience invites visitors to walkthrough a simulated video wall tunnel and enter the heart of a futuristic virtual venue where they can discover MediaKind’s media universe through a wide range of interactive offerings.

Building on MediaKind’s culture of continuous innovation, the portal includes a range of rich content that visitors can engage with, including latest news announcements, demonstrations, educational videos, presentations, webinars, whitepapers, application papers, products and solutions.
