Powersoft Unveils Lunar Journey for Visitors
In a groundbreaking development, Japan's newest space experience facility, 'Space Travelium TeNQ', has unveiled an innovative free-roaming Virtual Reality (VR) installation called 'The Moon Cruise'. This immersive experience offers visitors an unparalleled journey to the moon, complete with walk-on-the-moon moments and Earth-from-space views [1].
At the heart of The Moon Cruise is a collaboration between STYLY and Audio Visual Communications. The installation utilizes Powersoft's Mover transducer, Quattrocanali, and Duecanali amplifiers to transform the limited physical space into a boundless virtual lunar landscape [2].
The rocket launch scene, instrumental in the journey, combines sophisticated sound vibration and VR visuals, all powered by Powersoft's compact Mover transducers and amplifiers. This combination creates an unforgettable sensory experience for the visitors, simulating the thrill of a real-life rocket launch [2].
Tsuyoshi Nomura, executive officer at STYLY, expressed that their goal was to provide a realistic experience that would surprise visitors while overcoming the challenges associated with creating a convincing rocket launch experience within a confined environment. The solution lay in designing new, easy-to-maintain fixtures and integrating them with Powersoft's Mover [2].
For content design, Nomura emphasized the importance of the visitor's journey, focusing on the path to the lunar surface. This narrative approach ensures a more realistic lunar walking experience, while the entire facility provides a single world-view learning experience [2].
Ken Yamada, deputy general manager at Audio Visual Communications, praised the Mover's compact design, flexibility, ease of installation, and impressive power, making it an ideal solution for such installations [2]. The Mover, installed into bench seats, delivers powerful vibrations that replicate the low frequency from the BEC IC-120 speakers, creating a cohesive audio-tactile effect [2].
The success of this collaborative project underscores the potential of integrating advanced audio-visual technologies to create immersive, world-class VR experiences. By fusing powerful sound vibrations, vitual reality, and haptic feedback, The Moon Cruise promises an unparalleled space travel experience for visitors [3].
