Bango is pleased to announce the expansion of its partnership with Sam Media to offer its extended reality (XR) subscription services through the Digital Vending Machine® (DVM™). Resellers, such as telcos, that have standardized on the Digital Vending Machine® to bundle subscriptions, can now add Sam Media’s XR content to their consumer offers.
This new collaboration extends the recent Direct Carrier Billing partnership between the two companies, and opens up new avenues for telcos and various resellers to differentiate their services by offering groundbreaking XR content. XR replicates the real world in a digital format, delivering state-of-the-art entertainment and immersive experiences for users. Sam Media’s groundbreaking technology makes XR content accessible to everyone, irrespective of their device, eliminating the need for costly equipment. A smartphone with internet access is all users require to delve into this innovative realm.
Among the XR content offerings is SingSpace, powered by Stingray Karaoke – a virtual reality platform redefining the karaoke experience. SingSpace brings music enthusiasts together globally in an interactive metaverse, fostering a vibrant community where user-generated content is celebrated. Singers can share their performances, engage with others, and showcase their talent on various social platforms.
One connection to the Digital Vending Machine® delivers swift market entry and scalability for both content providers and resellers. Content providers can effortlessly tap into new global audiences through a network of resellers. Resellers, including telcos, banks and retailers can now offer the latest and most captivating subscription content, allowing for an array of bundles, discounts, and offers to attract and retain customers.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Sam Media through the Digital Vending Machine® to extend the reach of their cutting-edge XR content to a global audience. This collaboration enables resellers to provide unique and compelling subscriptions, enticing new users.”
