Ikon + Samsung: from Virtual Reality to Hyper Reality
The Galaxy Rangers video game, conceived, designed and built by Ikon for Samsung, offers users a totally immersive experience.
Developed by exploiting its know-how on the most innovative virtual reality techniques, the videogame goes beyond Virtual Reality, combining the viewer with a motorized workstation that offers multisensory involvement to the player (Hyper Reality), eliminating at the same time any motion sickness effect.
Installed at the Samsung District of Milan, Galaxy Rangers exploits the potential of the Virtours platform and allows showroom operators to monitor gaming sessions thanks to a tablet with mirroring functions.
The quality and power of Unreal Engine
Galaxy Rangers harnesses the power of the Unreal Engine graphics engine, the reference standard for the development of videogames with 3D graphics.
Virtual Reality and Mobile Viewers
All 3D models have been optimized to achieve the best gaming performance in a VR context based on a mobile device, guaranteeing the necessary balance between visual quality and fluency of the simulation.
Kinetic feedback and Motion Sickness
Ikon has also developed the firmware that controls the movements of the seat and interfaces with the game. Particular attention was paid to the management of latencies to completely eliminate motion sickness.
Station management
Showroom operators can manage and monitor gaming sessions thanks to the Virtours Controller app which allows users to interface a tablet with the viewer and the motorized chair.
