VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD OF WATERPARKS
“Splash VR”, the first technology solution that deploys a virtual-reality experience for waterpark guests without impacting the structure of existing waterslides.
VR WATERSLIDE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES:
- Based on a local slider’s GPS (SPS) system (Slider Positioning System)
- A full 360-degree experience of varying scenarios throughout each ride
- A user-friendly interface that allows guests to select desired interactions
- A synchronized VR display that can begin the ride displaying “real-life” images and then transition to a completely animated experience
- Unlimited scenario options including falling from a waterfall; traveling through dinosaur eras, space or other futuristic times; horror-action experiences; and licensedcharacter themes for kids.
SLIDING DEEP INTO A LOST WORLD
When guests wore their VR headwear and begin their waterslide journey, they will Experience a journey though the Lost City of Atlantis. Based on a radio- wave system, the headsets know exactly where users are located on the slide and their views change based on a triangulation of electromagnetic-radiation wavelengths.
With the introduction of the Atlantis immersive experience, however, guests on actual
waterslides can now imagine being in completely different worlds. The Atlantis video is only the beginning of the adventures awaiting guests.
Parks will have the opportunity to allow riders to choose different adventures — new concepts and films — every time they shoot down a tube.
