European Coaster Club in the VR CAVE

Justin GarvanovicĀ is theĀ founder of the European Coaster Club. He said,Ā ā€œWe have been following the work of Holovis for the last few years and the amazing work that they are pioneering, from Augmented Reality experiences like The Battle For Cedar Point, to the Immersive Elevator MediaCoaster™ alongside their partners S&S. This attraction looks especially exciting to us as ride enthusiasts.Ā It brings together a great thrill ride and Holovis’ ability to create amazing stories. Uniquely it will be featured before, during and after the ride itself.ā€

The 55 strong group were able to experience a wide range of Virtual and Augmented Reality solutions. Developed byĀ Holovis, these included behind the scenes designs in the VR CAVE using RideView™ VR development softwareĀ andĀ reinforcing safety messages in the Near Miss Simulator.Ā In addition, they were also able to freely explore whole virtual worlds and gaming in the Holovis HVR solutions.Ā This is an exhilarating, tetherless wide-area european coaster club give holovis awardtracked VR attraction.

Gripping Narratives and Gamification

The group experienced true 3D in a highly immersive projection dome. They alsoĀ took on Jungle Crisis. This isĀ a two player MotionDome™ experience where 360Ėš immersive media is synched perfectly with motion, spatial audio, SFX and incredibly accurate interactivity tracked using InterAct™ for the ultimate scalable gaming experience. With the media rendered in real-time the exact experience is different depending on the decisions people make in the game.

Peter CliffĀ isĀ Creative Director at Holovis. He said,Ā ā€œSeeing the reactions of the traditionally coaster bound group as they experienced the different elements throughout the day was incredible. It has reinforced our findings that gripping narratives and gamification of experiences and attractions will make people want to ride again.Ā They will want to beat high scoresĀ andĀ discover new elements. They will also want toĀ delve deeper into hidden stories. The park can evolve or seasonally customise these at any time.ā€

Holovis was recently recognised as the ninth fastest growing SME Exporter in the UK.
