New gaming-based AR attraction opens in London |
Chaos Karts, a new gaming-based visitor attraction combining go-karts and augmented reality (AR), opens in Fleet Street Hill in London, UK, in August. Visitors drive around a digitally projected world, connecting the physical vehicles with a virtual track. The AR allows Chaos Karts to be experienced on an infinite number of tracks and there is a competitive element, with players collecting power-ups and ‘weapons’ – such as laser guns, hammers, bombs, and speed boosts. Engineered by The Ents Inc, Chaos Karts has no physical obstacles on the track and utilises anti-collision technology, meaning that helmets and driving suits are not required, making the experience available for everyone aged 13 and above. The karts are also kitted out with features to produce "real life sensations and reactions" that will immerse competitors. Chaos Karts was founded by Tom Lionetti-Maguire, CEO and founder of Little Lion Entertainment, the firm behind The Crystal Maze Experiences. (2021/09/14)
