Who this is for

Designed for operators exploring immersive attraction potential.

This invitation is for commercially relevant venues and partners who want to understand whether mixed reality could fit their space, audience and operating model.

01

Family entertainment centres

Explore new playable attractions that can sit alongside existing leisure activities.

02

VR / immersive venues

Add mixed-reality modules that keep the physical room visible and operationally understandable.

03

Bowling / arcade operators

Test digital layers, social play formats and add-on experiences around current footfall.

04

Indoor activity parks

Assess whether MR can create repeatable challenges or themed experiences using available zones.

05

Events / activations

Create short-term immersive experiences for launches, pop-ups, campaigns or venue programming.

06

Brands / agencies

Explore branded immersive experiences that can be adapted around audience, location and campaign goals.

What we offer

A specialist MR development partner for pilots, modules and venue-ready experiences.

The aim is not to force a large installation from day one. The aim is to validate fit, usage and operational practicality first.

MR

Mixed-reality attraction pilots

Structured pilots designed to test customer interest, operational fit and venue suitability.

CX

Custom MR development

Purpose-built experience design for operators, brands or venue-specific use cases.

RM

Reusable MR modules

Configurable experience modules that can be adapted across different venues and formats.

LS

Licensing and support

Options for ongoing access, operator guidance and practical support after a successful pilot.

BA

Branded immersive experiences

Campaign or sponsor-led experiences with controlled branding and clear operational boundaries.

CR

Content refresh / re-skin support

Software-led updates to refresh the experience without rebuilding the entire physical setup.

Why mixed reality

Keep the room visible while adding interactive digital content.

Mixed reality can make a physical space feel more flexible by layering digital interaction into the existing environment. For venues, this may support group energy, easier spectator understanding and a more visible experience than fully isolated headset formats.

The strongest use cases are practical: testing whether guests understand it, whether staff can run it, whether the setup fits the room and whether the attraction creates a reason to return.

Lower-risk validation

Start with discovery and a pilot instead of immediately committing to a major fit-out or permanent installation.

More social by design

MR can allow the room, players and operators to remain part of the experience rather than disappearing entirely into a headset.

Software-led refreshes

Content can be adapted, themed or re-skinned without requiring a complete physical rebuild.

Operational support

Setup, staffing, safety, hygiene and technical considerations are treated as part of the pilot, not afterthoughts.

How the pilot works

A structured route from venue fit to pilot feedback.

The process is designed to help both sides understand suitability before a larger commercial commitment is discussed.

Discovery / venue fit review

Review venue type, audience, space, operating model and likely pilot objectives.

Pilot scope and setup planning

Define the pilot format, equipment requirements, staffing assumptions and practical constraints.

MR module / experience configuration

Configure an appropriate MR module or plan a more tailored experience where required.

Staff onboarding and operating guidance

Provide simple operating guidance covering guest flow, hygiene, safety and troubleshooting.

Pilot launch

Run the pilot in a controlled way so usage, feedback and operational observations can be captured.

Feedback and next-step recommendation

Summarise findings and recommend whether to continue, adapt, license or pause.

Operator questions

What venues usually need to understand before saying yes.

A useful pilot needs to address operational reality, not just the experience concept. These areas are considered during discovery.

FAQ

Common questions from operators and commercial partners.

Family entertainment centres, immersive venues, bowling and arcade operators, indoor activity parks, event organisers, leisure operators and brand activation teams are the main fit.
Not necessarily. Hardware options can be discussed during discovery. Some venues may already own suitable devices, while others may prefer a pilot structure that includes hardware planning.
This depends on the experience type, guest flow and safety requirements. The discovery review is used to understand whether a small demo zone, activity bay or larger space is most appropriate.
Common routes include a short demo, a 30-day pilot or a 90-day pilot. The right option depends on venue readiness, audience volume and what needs to be validated.
The experience should be designed with clear onboarding, simple interaction and staff guidance. First-time users can be considered, but suitability depends on the final pilot format.
Hygiene, safe play boundaries, staff supervision and guest onboarding are reviewed as part of pilot planning. These requirements should be agreed before launch.
The next step may be a longer pilot, licensing arrangement, custom build, branded activation or support package depending on performance and operator goals.
Yes. Experiences can be adapted for venue themes, brand activations, sponsor placements or specific audience groups where technically and commercially appropriate.
