Two former DreamWorks Animation executives recently announced that their company 'Spaces' will be teaming up with Songcheng Performance Development Co. Ltd. to bring VR and mixed reality attractions to China's theme parks. With Songcheng already serving roughly 23 million people each year, the new theme park attractions could introduce a whole new segment of consumers to VR technology.
As part of the new venture, Spaces will use creative tools and cutting-edge technology to bring VR and mixed reality attractions to China's theme parks. The new technology will be incorporated into existing rides and stage shows, as well as entirely new attractions that allow people to enjoy the immersive and transformative benefits of VR. Spaces also plans to work with Songcheng to build upon its live-stream video site '6Rooms' to help China's performing artists broadcast their content to a wider audience.
The new venture will not only revolutionize Chinese theme parks, but it will also help to popularize VR and mixed reality content in Asia.
