Holoverse is an amusement attraction on the Gold Coast in Australia that opened in June 2016. The centre is owned by Euclideon and uses new entertainment technology that creates artificial environments and objects that are described as holograms. The centre was partially funded by the Australian Government [1] and was officially opened by Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk [2] . The centre contains 40 booths, is the first in Australia [3], and is said to house the largest number of them in the world.
Experiences
New content is released by the mother company approximately every three months. While primarily for entertainment, other experiences focus on educational content for schools and interactive learning experiences. So far the centre has four experiences / sessions: [4]
Experiences Volume One
In this session, the user undergoes 10 different holographic experiences including weather effects, flying, falling and and seeing holographic animals.
False Eden
False Eden is an holographic game in which the user uses a holographic item through numerous encounters and environments. Because of the mechanics of the technology, characters come into the real world as holograms.
Fly Over the Gold Coast
This session consists of a replication of aerial movement over a 1:1 scale representation of Australia's Gold Coast.
Holographic Planetarium
Across two parts, the visitor examines a holographic representation and educational lecture on the Solar System. The user visits surface recreations of the planets and their moons, examining gravitational variance and other phenomena unique to other planets.
Expansion
In 2017, Euclideon announced that the next Holoverse centre will open in Dubai. A site is also expected in Chicago by the end of 2018.
Founders
Holoverse is owned by Euclideon Entertainment, founded by Bruce Dell in 2017.
The Technology
The technology, when used in other fields, is often referred to as a Virtual Reality Cave or VR CAVE environment.
The technology differs from standard Virtual Reality. With standard Virtual Reality, people wear screens over their eyes, the headsets through which they are unable to see their own torso, arms or legs. Whereas in a VR CAVE, instead of going into the computer game, the person wears clear glasses and can see their own body, and the computer-generated objects appear to be in the real world with them. The element of being able to see one’s own body serves to eliminate motion sickness.
