Holovis and S&S-Sansei Technologies Unveil Patented Immersive Elevator MediaCoaster

US-based S&S-Sansei Technologies and the British Holovis company joined forces to offer a new “Immersive Elevator MediaCoaster” as an advanced dark ride concept. The attraction starts with the creative narrative flowing through a themed media and interactive preshow before guests board what is seemingly a traditional dark ride. The ride vehicle then enters a 360° dome, completely equipped with media to create intense immersion so that cumbersome VR headsets or 3D glasses are no longer needed.

“[…] The patented, storytelling capability now offered by S&S-Sansei Technologies and Holovis allows the immersive experience to physically move with a moving vehicle, creating a more dynamic, immersive experience for guests. We’re combining the thrill of death-defying drop tower and extreme coaster technology with truly immersive media for a unique next-generation experience […],” said Stuart Hetherington, CEO of Holovis. The turn-key systems are supplied by Holovis, combined with the ride system from S&S-Sansei Technologies. (eap)
