Immersive Tunnel at Bobbejaanland
With the level of interactive technology in our homes advancing rapidly,
today’s consumers expect out-of-home leisure activities to exceed their
wildest dreams. Barco offers a broad portfolio of solutions to help
amusement parks and museums uplift the visitor experience.
Just a few examples? In May 2015, theme park Bobbejaanland
(Belgium), part of the Parques Reunidos group, inaugurated ‘The
Forbidden Caves' - a hi-tech, 3D media-based, dark ride set up by
Holovis. The very first ‘Immersive Tunnel’ attraction in the Benelux,
'The Forbidden Caves' manages to completely immerse visitors in the
story. Barco’s contribution: an immense display wall consisting of seven
Barco F85 units.
Immersive history at Mons Memorial Museum
Another recent Barco achievement is the set-up at the Memorial Museum in Mons,
European Capital of Culture 2015. “We wanted to create a place where
new technologies like 3D projectors, serious games and interactive
tables would give both form and depth to the historical content. The
technology really had to help us plunge the visitors into the wartime
experiences of both soldiers and civilians,” said Martial Prévert, the
museum’s scenographer. Barco’s single-chip DLP® F32 projectors,
installed by Ocular, are one of the secrets to the museum’s success!
