The conference content will be available in various languages
Since the move to Barcelona, ICE has attracted an even more global audience, bringing together attendees from 195 countries. To reflect the truly international nature of ICE, all content sessions in the World Gaming Forum, Sustainable Gambling Zone & Enterprise Stage will be available in simultaneous translation in their choice of languages by scanning a QR code from their smartphones or tablets, then following the translated audio and/or subtitles. Designed for ease, this requires no app download or account creation; scanning the QR code opens a new browser window from which attendees can select both an audio and captions language, depending on whether they wish to follow the translated speech or simply read the subtitles directly from their screen. Translated audio and captions are entirely AI-powered, in real time, and require around 1% of the bandwidth needed to stream an average YouTube video from a smartphone, making them easily accessible via 4G or the guest Wi-Fi available at Fira Barcelona Gran Via.
Please note: visitors will be required to bring their own headphones connected to their smartphone in order to listen to audio translation.
