Stepping into Elvis’s World
Layered Reality’s founder and CEO enthusiastically shared their vision, describing “Elvis Evolution” as an opportunity for people to step into the world of Elvis and walk in his iconic blue suede shoes.
This groundbreaking show will seamlessly integrate Artificial Intelligence, holographic projection, augmented reality, live theatre, and multi-sensory effects, promising an immersive journey through the decades and a deeper understanding of Elvis’s rise to fame and cultural impact in the 1950s and 1960s.
A Complete Elvis Experience

Complete with live music, it will provide fans with an all-encompassing Elvis experience, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the aura of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Remembering the King
Elvis Presley, who would have celebrated his 89th birthday on 8 January, remains an enduring cultural icon. With timeless hits like ‘Hound Dog’ and ‘Suspicious Minds,’ he made an indelible mark on the music industry before his untimely passing in 1977.
In 2018, he was posthumously awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour, underscoring his everlasting impact.

The Elvis Legacy in Film
Elvis’s legacy extends beyond music to the world of cinema. The 2022 release directed by Baz Luhrmann, starring Austin Butler, received critical acclaim and earned a Bafta Film Award for its portrayal of the legendary singer.
Additionally, the recent United Kingdom release of “Priscilla” delves into the relationship between Elvis and his ex-wife, Priscilla Presley, further cementing his place in cinematic history.
The Rise of Virtual Concerts
The emergence of virtual concerts and events has become a cultural phenomenon, with “Abba Voyage” leading the charge since its launch in London in May 2022. #
This concert, featuring digital avatars of the Swedish pop band, has redefined the live entertainment landscape.
A Revolution in Entertainment
“Abba Voyage” set a new standard for entertainment by recreating a 1970s-era digital version of the iconic band.
It was a monumental undertaking, requiring the expertise of 1,000 visual effects artists and an astonishing one billion computing hours to animate the avatars.
Financially, “Abba Voyage” has been a juggernaut, generating an estimated weekly revenue of £2 million and contributing £322.6 million to the London economy since 2022.
Immortality Through Technology
The rock band Kiss recently bid farewell to their fans in a final concert in New York, featuring flying avatars created using the same cutting-edge technology as “Abba Voyage.”
Gene Simmons, the band’s iconic frontman, attributed these avatars to ensuring that Kiss could remain eternally youthful and iconic in the hearts of their fans.
