Total Immersion has launched a second version of its ‘The Future is Wild’ ride within the French amusement park, Futuroscope.
The ride is described as the world’s first dedicated ‘augmented reality attraction’ where 3D animations are superimposed onto a background to create the illusion of a ‘live’ 3D image.
The second version of the ride sees new animals introduced to the experience, along with improved graphics to provide a more immersive sensation.
Bruno Uzzan, CEO of Total Immersion commented: “Augmented reality is positioned to be a strong differentiator for Futuroscope, which wishes to offer its visitors interactive experiences that involve emotion, enjoyment and learning.”

for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
