These include\u00a0<em>Tilt<\/em>, the first TV format using\u00a0virtual-reality (VR) and mixed-reality production techniques in broadcast TV; <em>Together<\/em>, a factual social-experiment format; and <em>High Score<\/em>, a futuristic game-show format.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tilt<\/em> currently airs in Finland on TV6 and is sponsored by Hewlett Packard. The game-show-meets-talk-show format sees millennial celebrities challenge each other in VR games. <em>Tilt<\/em> has been on air in Finland since 1997 and got a futuristic revamp last year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Together<\/em> is a new factual social-experiment format that follows real-life couples as they attempt to improve and save their relationships using a groundbreaking mobile app that tracks their progress and creates tasks for them to perform. Viewers are also able to use the\u00a0same app at home for an interactive experience.<\/p>\n<p><em>High Score<\/em> is a futuristic eSports decathlon that sees contestants battle it out in games and challenges ranging from quizzes and party games to futuristic mind power and virtual-reality experiences. The format is accompanied by a set of games for viewers to play at home on mobile devices, connected TVs and virtual-reality platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the TV landscape continues to evolve in line with viewer demands, VR and interactive entertainment are taking center stage,\u201d said Arabelle Pouliot-Di Crescenzo, the managing director of KABO International. \u201cReflect as a company is one step ahead of the game and the technologies they use give audiences a truly immersive experience. We are very excited to add these titles to our slate and look forward to presenting them to buyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile TV will not disappear, technology innovation will blur the lines between different forms of entertainment at an increasing speed,\u201d commented Juha Ponteva, co-founder of Reflect. \u201cWe are pleased to have finalized this deal with KABO International, who are perfectly placed to take our interactive formats to a global audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis deal also coincides with the launch of our recently formed company,\u201d added Antti Sepp\u00e4nen, co-founder of Reflect. \u201cJuha and I teamed up to launch Reflect as a development operation whilst still managing our separate production ventures. Whilst the first formats out from our \u2018lab\u2019 are game shows and reality, we are also working on live entertainment shows and testing new concepts using virtual- and augmented-reality technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA PLAINE ST DENIS: KABO International has closed a distribution deal with Finnish outfit Reflect for a trio of interactive formats, including Tilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":5358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[832,361,833,834,835],"class_list":["post-5357","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-high-score","tag-kabo-international","tag-reflect","tag-tilt","tag-together","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>KABO International Secures Format Pact with Reflect - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"KABO International Secures Format Pact with Reflect - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA PLAINE ST DENIS: KABO International has closed a distribution deal with Finnish outfit Reflect for a trio of interactive formats, including Tilt.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-01-09T16:52:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-03-09T20:51:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/Tilt-KABOInternational-117.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/\",\"name\":\"KABO International Secures Format Pact with Reflect - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-01-09T16:52:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-03-09T20:51:05+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/kabo-international-secures-format-pact-with-reflect\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"KABO International Secures Format Pact with Reflect\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
