Magicbox
Nexth Magic Box
Nexth Magic Box is an innovative phygital iTV+ module developed within the Nexth Ecosystem, designed to transform the way audiences experience video, audio, and interactive media. Each Magic Box is conceived as a dynamic container of infinite possibilities, enabling users to unlock multiple narrative dimensions within a single piece of content.
Concept
The Magic Box combines phygital interaction (bridging the physical and digital worlds) with immersive video and audio layering. Unlike traditional video formats, where content flows linearly, the Nexth Magic Box introduces a multidimensional experience. Viewers can explore alternative perspectives, hidden layers, interactive contents, and parallel storylines — all within the same playback environment.
Features
- Multilayered Video – Each Magic Box video contains multiple interactive video/audio layers that can be revealed during playback.
- Explorable Dimensions – Users can navigate seamlessly between scenes, timelines, and perspectives without leaving the video.
- Interactive Audio – Soundtracks, commentaries, and ambient sound layers can be dynamically activated by the viewer.
- Phygital Integration – Connects to real-world objects, QR codes, and events, enabling synchronized experiences both online and offline.
- iTV+ Connectivity – Directly integrated with Nexth’s iTV+ ecosystem, offering compatibility with Nexth XHubs, Nexth Cast, and other related platforms.
Applications
Nexth Magic Box is a versatile tool that can be applied across multiple industries and experiences:
- Entertainment – Unlock hidden story arcs, Easter eggs, or behind-the-scenes content in films and series.
- Education – Offer layered lectures, with main explanations, side examples, quizzes, and interactive discussions in one video.
- Marketing & Branding – Brands can embed interactive offers, product showcases, or gamified experiences within campaigns.
- Events & Exhibitions – Visitors can access alternative viewpoints of a live event, backstage streams, or interactive sponsor showcases.
- Music & Performance – Artists can deliver alternate versions of songs, interactive visuals, and live remix options.

- Low-latency video switching.
