Bloomberg Technology: The Theme Park of the Future

Our award-winning SoReal VR entertainment center in Beijing recently received a nice write up at Bloomberg Technology:


SoReal VR Entertainment Center

A SoReal Blast Off.

On April 25 I had the pleasure to take part in the official press launch of the new SoReal brand in Beijing.
Chinese film director Zhang Yimou – well known for Hero and House of Flying Daggers – is a key partner of this new VR brand, which is part of a media consortium that covers everything from VR content production and distribution to the development of proprietary VR hardware and dedicated entertainment centers.

The press was treated to a 180-degree wraparound LED spectacle and to the stage appearance of various protagonists of the new brand.

As the only English-speaking presenter on stage I have no idea what transpired from my own presentation, although the press bestowed a sweet new job title on me…
