Katy Perry commented on her May 17 season finale performance on ABC’s American Idol, which featured her new single, “Daisies,” accompanied by eXtended Reality (XR) technologies wielded by Silent House and Silent Partners Studio. “Started on the #AmericalIdol stage, ended up in a whole new world,” she wrote. More than just a new “paintbrush,” Baz Halpin notes, XR is “a whole new paint box…You want a 300-foot-tall elephant to balance on a pin with beams of light from the tusks and trunk? Well, you can’t do it in the real world, but in XR, you can make that thing look incredible.”
