OVERVIEW

MID-AIR HAPTICS HORROR EXPERIENCE

Fallen Planet Studios collaborated with UltraLeap to enhance the horror experience using advanced hand tracking and mid-air haptic feedback technology. This innovative approach enabled a highly immersive, multi-sensory experience without the need for hand-held controllers. The integration of UltraLeap’s technology allowed players to interact in the virtual world using just their hands, which heightened the sense of immersion and agency within the game. This setup was part of a new three-minute VR horror experience that extended the AFFECTED IP and debuted to positive acclaim at major tech events like IAAPA 2018 and CES 2019.

This collaboration highlights Fallen Planet Studios’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of VR technology and user interaction, delivering a cutting-edge experience that significantly enhances the feeling of presence and interactivity in virtual environments. This venture into incorporating haptic feedback and hand tracking is part of their broader strategy to innovate within the VR arcade and theme park sectors globally.
