In cooperation with the start-up Amaze VR, which specialises in virtual concerts, a 26-minute VR experience was created in which fans of the US metal band can experience four songs in changing virtual environments on the VR glasses Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3. The fans can watch one of the songs for free, but have to pay for the others. The experience was also sold together with the VIP ticket at live concerts. In this case, fans could watch the virtual experience together in a room before the concert.
Europapark “Voltron ChARge” AR Experience
In collaboration with Europa-Park, Curious Company developed “VOLTRON chARge,” an immersive Augmented Reality (AR) experience designed to promote the park’s upcoming roller coaster, Voltron Nevera. This interactive app transports users into Nikola Tesla’s workshop, where they assist in completing a critical experiment by performing tasks such as opening valves, connecting electrical contacts, and activating switches—all under time pressure to prevent Tesla’s pursuers from intervening.
The app features a meticulously detailed, interactive 2-meter-wide experiment table, allowing users to physically engage by bending, stretching, and moving around their space, thereby enhancing immersion. Its user interface draws inspiration from steampunk aesthetics, ensuring that the focus remains on the experiment’s intricate details. Seamlessly integrated into the Europa-Park app, “VOLTRON chARge” is optimized for both Apple and Android devices.
The experience has garnered significant attention, earning two silver awards at the ADC competition in 2024 and reinforcing Europa-Park’s reputation for innovation. Curious Company, recognized as the Rookie Agency of the Year in 2024, continues to push boundaries in immersive storytelling through AR technology.
“VOLTRON chARge” exemplifies the fusion of immersive storytelling and cutting-edge technology, setting a new standard for interactive experiences in the theme park industry. By blending physical movement with digital interaction, it offers users a unique and engaging preview of Europa-Park’s latest attraction.
