Air Factory trampoline park in St. Helen’s has become the first in the UK to have an augmented reality (AR) attraction.
Believed to be the first of its kind in the UK, the AR Zone attraction will allow visitors to play a series of games while in a ball pool.
The newly added AR Zone is just part of a huge 33m2 ball pool with over 100,000 balls and larger zorbs and inflatables for guests to climb inside and float across the balls.
now that AR Zone is open, Air Factory won’t charge any extra to enter the trampoline park. The new attraction is the newest instalment since opening in Autumn 2016.
Kane McQuade, general manager of Air Factory, said: “Augmented reality is a real buzzword in the leisure industry, and we’re pleased to be the first trampoline park to bring this type of gaming experience to the UK.
“A huge new gaming screen has been fitted at the end of our ball pool and the AR technology uses cameras to monitor the position of the balls as the players launch them forwards.
“The action on screen and outcome of the games is directly affected by the players’ interactions with the balls themselves.
“It’s a unique attraction and a superb addition to our arena of trampolines, battle beams and slam dunk courts, marking us out as offering something different to other trampoline parks in the country.”
