| Holovis will become the European distributor of Sangwha's Gyro VR system following a new partnership |
|
Holovis has announced a new distribution partnership with Sangwha, a Korean digital agency and manufacturer, that will see Holovis become the exclusive reseller for Sangwha's Gyro VR motion systems, as well as an innovation partner on any future developments.
A 360-degree spinning rig, the Gyro VR, performs complete rotations, that, when combined with VR, provides a thrilling experience for riders. As part of the new collaboration, the companies have developed a specialist 2-DOF Gyro VR, exclusively for Holovis, for spaces with a ceiling height of less than 2.2m. It features bespoke middleware and will have the capability to include rider interactivity.
Additionally, Holovis is working with Sangwha to extend the guest experience further with the development of proprietary middleware, that will allow Holovis engineers to programme bespoke motion paths for new IP-led content, created by the Holovis media team.
Holovis will also integrate interactivity into the system making the ride customisable and unique to each rider. The new functionality, designed to drive ride repeatability, will mean that media will be rendered in real-time, so that while each ride will follow a set path, riders will be able to alter things in the virtual world as they happen.
Peter Cliff, creative director at Holovis, said: "We are very excited about the ability to give guests real-time interaction and customised expereinces within an on-rails environment. The new variation for spaces with ceiling heights of 2.2 metres or less will also open up more market sectors and possibilities for this fantastic experience."

| Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
| Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
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. |

| Eye tracking AI Aquarium from ITRI helps visitors identify fish species |
|
| It can take a while for visitors to identify the species of fish they’re looking at in an
aquarium – trying to match them up with information on an information panel can take time
and isn’t always straightforward. Now a new aquarium by Taiwan’s Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) helps by exhibiting marine life information in real time
according to visitors’ line of sight. |
