Multiplayer Experience

The two-player bays allow up to six users to experience an immersive 1:1 mapped digital-to-physical space. Each player can see the others, allowing for collaborative gameplay, a much higher level of immersion, and ultimately, enjoyment during the experience. The game was designed as a co-op style to create teamwork and encourage interaction between the players.

Immersive Experience

We built all aspects of this immersive game, from the 3D art assets to the fabricated seats each player starts sitting in. Mixing VR and the physical space instantly immersed each player transporting them to the cockpit of this space shuttle. The 1:1 mapped environment, 3D audio, and ability to see other players in the space were key elements to this success. We partnered with companies such as HTC, Ultraleap, and DTS Audio to incorporate the assets required to deliver on this goal.

Sensory & Spatial Technology

The experience space was built to affect all of the player’s senses. Features include infrared heat and air control, fragrance control, rumble floor, controls with haptic feedback, and self-actuating fold-flat seating. This is how we created the a one-of-a-kind 5D experience.

Operational Service

Onboarding players into this 1:1 mapped physical to virtual with interactive physical consoles required a behind-the-scenes digital interface control system for all the effects in the space. This allowed the technical operators to calibrate players into the game for efficient throughput and see each player’s view and quickly troubleshoot problems if they arose.
