Sorckoff was instrumental in the installation of the Hawks’ state-of-the-art 3D video mapping court projection system, a technological tool that has revolutionized the fan experience at Philips Arena. The club has worked to integrate its corporate partners into the projector’s presentations, allowed fans to participate via their mobile devices, and incorporated sound visualization and motion-sensing camera technology for real-time graphic interaction with performers on the floor.
This year’s class includes, among others, executives from the College Football Hall of Fame, Comcast Business and Turner Sports. The members were recognized at an unveiling event for Hub Magazine, a publication of the Technology Association of Georgia.
