New Multi-Player, Role-Playing Game (RPG) Will Activate an AR Experience Only When Played in Theatres

CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading cinema technology company, in collaboration with Resonai, creators of Vera™ an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) platform that converts any physical space into an intelligent digital environment, will showcase a preview of a multi-player, RPG game that utilizes the ‘4DX AR’ platform. A demo of the game will be available this week at CES at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Tech East, South Hall 1, Booth # 20918.

With the Vera™ platform, theatre spaces are scanned once and sent to Vera’s AR cloud where a very accurate 3D digital twin is created, and its entire structure is analyzed. This Intelligent Digital Twin becomes available in the cloud and communicates with Vera apps on mobile devices. By accessing the cloud, any device or agent can communicate within the space, leverage applications that understand the space, offer high precision navigation, and precise positional tracking without the use of any markers.

CJ 4DPLEX is developing a ‘4DX AR’ platform that creates a very realistic AR experience that includes elements of the mobile RPG game that are inserted into the real physical space using Vera™. Users can enjoy this AR version of the game in the physical space, without any lag or interference.

CJ 4DPLEX is a leading cinema technology company headquartered in Seoul with international offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. The company has created innovative premium formats for theaters worldwide that include 4DX, ScreenX, and 4DX Screen for consumers to experience films in ways that were never before possible. 4DX provides moviegoers with an innovative multi-sensory experience, allowing the audience to connect with movies through motion, water, wind, snow, lightning, scents, and other special effects that enhance the visuals on-screen. To date, more than 82,500 4DX seats operate in 731 auditoriums, spanning 65 countries. ScreenX allows moviegoers to go beyond the frame of the movie screen by utilizing a proprietary system that expands images of feature films and pre-show advertising to the left and right walls of the theatre, creating an immersive, panoramic, 270-degree viewing experience. ScreenX is the fastest growing premium format in the market with over 306 auditoriums in 32 countries to date.

In this partnership CJ 4DPLEX, was able to utilize Vera’s software development kit (SDK) and quickly develop a unique consumer experience that leverages Resonai’s AR cloud. The experience provides a hyper realistic mixed reality that is fully responsive to users and interacts with the 3D environment as humans would. This experience is scalable across multiple locations.
