History
editLookport was launched in 2019 to explore the intersection of immersive technology and live entertainment.

Its proprietary streaming engine supports up to 8K video and spatial audio, creating an immersive event experience. No additional software is required, making the service device-agnostic.[2]

- Media installation Antarctica: The Melting Silence at Outernet London [3]
- A festival performance by Thirty Seconds to Mars
- The global environmental music campaign Only One Antarctica, featuring Jess Glynne and supported by Greenpeace and ASOC[4]
- Virtual shows with artists such as Imany, Pain[5], Die Antwoord, and Nothing But Thieves[6]
