Don a virtual reality headset, jump on a playground swing, and be transported on an exhilarating swing-powered adventure.
VR Playground is an experiential ride installation and aerial performance. Riders propel themselves through a series of colourful geometric virtual worlds, each driven by the action of swinging within a cubic structure. An array of fantastical virtual motions offers alternative realities to the real physical sensations of swinging, set within a unique architectural-scale virtual playground and soundscape, designed to excite a spirit of fun and visceral experimentation.
Riders inadvertently perform moments of wonder, awe and trepidation to spectators, many of whom are queuing for the ride themselves, curious to discover the secrets of these hidden worlds.
