| Galactica's photo opportunity comes in the queue-line / Picsolve |
|
Image solutions provider Picsolve has teamed up with Alton Towers to add an extra level of interaction to the park’s new VR coaster, Galactica.
Now guests waiting in the the space-themed queue-line are being given the chance to take a “space selfie” in just 30 seconds.
Picsolve answered the challenge that VR headsets posed to regular in-ride photography by moving the photo opportunity earlier in the experience, before the HMDs are introduced.
“Emerging technologies, such as virtual reality at the Alton Towers Resort, are creating exciting opportunities for photography to provide a fully immersive experience from the moment guests step into the queue,” said Laura Lunn, Picsolve’s global head of marketing. “Picsolve is committed to staying at the forefront of technology and finding innovative ways to use image capture to enhance the guest experience.”
The queue-line photo opportunity uses six DSLR cameras to capture up to six Galactica “space tourists at a time. The photo capture point is themed as part of the check-in process to fit in with the ride's space travel story. The Galactinaut guests can pick up their digital or print selfies after the ride.
