AlUla Adventures Nominated for Developers Choice Award

The Sensory Travel Experience, AlUla Adventures, has been nominated in the 2021 Developers Choice Awards. The innovative combination of hardware and software - a collaboration between Spark XR and Manga productions - allows users to ‘teleport’ and take a virtual tour of a UNESCO World Heritage site in Saudi Arabia, discovering and collecting artifacts while outrunning a sandstorm!

The incredibly realistic 12 minute experience simulates motion with a combination of AI controlled wind and haptic effects applied in real-time with high-end virtual reality - even though users stand still throughoutl

At the end of the experience, participants receive a digital souvenir in the form of an interactive journal of everything they collected on their virtual journey.

The 2021 Developers Choice Awards are held on December 4th, 2021, in Salt Lake City, Utah. More details: https://www.utahden.org/2021_devawards.
