The Ride – Virtual Reality bus tour
Customer: The Ride
Hardware: 50 Samsung Gear headsets
Application: 360 degree videos videos during bus tour
Service: Rental hardware, installation, remote support
Question
The Ride is an innovative tour bus in New York Manhattan. In a cinema setting, visitors are driven past the most famous hotspots in the city, where theatrical acts are alternated with the use of technology. You no longer have to twist your neck to the window to get the most out of the tour, as the seats on this high-tech tour bus are oriented towards the huge window on the side of the bus.
The Ride was looking for a solution where they could implement a virtual reality solution in their new Downtown Experience. This required videos to be played in sync on all headsets at certain times of the tour.
Solution
After a selection of the videos had been made, we started working on the preparation for The Ride. Our VR Sync solutions made it possible to start the videos simultaneously on all 50 headsets that were present on the bus via a dashboard. To ensure that The Ride received a complete usable package, we installed the software and videos in advance. After the rental headsets came in, we gave them remote training on how to use the equipment.
Result
The Downtown Experience Tour was booked three times a day on average during the first weeks. The spectators get to hear and see the history of the city during the tour.
The experience is seen as an exclusive experience, in which all senses are stimulated. The Ride indicates that it has never had any problems with the use of the software and is even so satisfied that after the rental agreement they have purchased the solution.
