Holovis

IAAPA Expo booth #3805

Holovis, a world leader in sensory experience design, reports the opening of a state-of-the-art demo facility at its headquarters of Lutterworth, UK.

This facility is the only place where the different interactive experience solutions driven by the company’s softwares can be seen side by side and be put through their paces. It features three projection dome theaters (including a flying dome and the company's newest solution MotionDome™), a fived sided CAVE set up, multiple 3D and 4D theaters and an interactive dark ride test cell.

Holovis opened new demo and R&D facilities at its headquarters.Seeing the solutions in person is the only way clients can truly understand how they can be utilized and learn about the complete service that Holovis provides to make these easily accessible, from software through to content creation, build and maintenance,” explained Stuart Hetherington, CEO of Holovis. “We wanted to create a place where people can test and experience the different solutions, running their own content as well as watching the show reels and immersive experiences our in-house software and gaming team have created. The space is also being used by our strategic partners and clients who are bringing their whole project teams to spend the day here, testing and remodeling content including CGI and real time media on replica models while their actual solution is being built.

The newest interactive technologies can be found within the CAVE, demonstrated as a four or five surface immersive structure. Powered by In-Mo (Information in Motion) a suite of applications have been developed by Holovis to allow real time, game engine technology to run on complex surfaces and domes, all controlled by the company’s priority software ideal for the design, manufacturing, entertainment, theme park, museum and leisure industries.
