Valo Motion has installed its first mixed reality playground, ValoArena, in the US.
The unattended, six-player attraction can now be round at RPM raceway, New York and Air Madness trampoline park, South Dakota.
It joins the 10 units already deployed worldwide and Steffen Brunckhorst, CEO at German FEC Abenteuerland, which already has a ValoArena, said: “For me, the best thing about ValoArena is to observe groups and how they have fun together. They compete with each other or cooperate and they are laughing. People are completely immersed in the game, and they are visibly having fun playing.
“Another reason why we bought ValoArena was because we observed kids playing in Finland - they were laughing so hard, and it’s exactly how it is in our park now.”
ValoArena requires no employee supervision or wires and allows players to choose between different physical games in a virtual space. The game takes place on an arena-style stage meaning spectators can watch.
Dr Raine Kajastila, CEO at Valo Motion, said: “We are excited to launch ValoArena in the US as a fresh alternative to passive play in out-of-home amusement locations.
“ValoArena is much more than just a revolutionary concept; it’s an evolutionary step forward. We have taken the best from our ValoClimb and ValoJump attractions and built a truly social group gaming experience where active fun and laughs can be shared by groups and families.”
