Riyadh Space Fair: interactive solutions

We started this year with fantastic news!

During the month of February, we developed a project with Nowaar Entertainment , an investment and entertainment management company located in Saudi Arabia.

Nowaar was one of the government agencies that the Royal Commission for Riyadh City partnered with to organize the Riyadh Space Fair and it was in this exciting project that Unloop participated with its interactive solutions.

Riyadh Space Fair

The Riyadh Space Fair was a one-month exhibition that celebrated the relationship between mankind and space and introduced the Space science field to young generations.

It provided the visitors with a variety of immersive edutainment experiences, the opportunity to learn from astronauts and space scientists and to interact with the creators of futuristic projects. Cool, right?

Our solutions

Mascot

The fair needed to extend an invitation to its visitors, so we developed a mascot that spread the word that news from another planet was coming. Our team was responsible for the whole process - from concept to modeling and animation.

Space Jump

We have developed an exciting interactive solution called Space Jump. In this experience, when the visitor’s body was detected, it would appear in the form of an astronaut. Then the visitor had to jump as high as possible.

This is where the experience got even better: the player was given scientific data about gravity on different planets based on their score. Our calculations considered the different gravitational forces on each planet and provided the player with an entertaining and educational experience.

Eventually the astronaut slowly landed as if in zero gravity, leaving visitors with the feeling that they have truly explored the cosmos ??

Space Jump is just one of the many ways we use technology to create unique and engaging experiences.

My Robot

My Robot is one of the coolest apps we have created. In this experience people could unleash their creativity and build a unique creature of their choice, be it a robot, an alien, or whatever their imagination conjured, by putting together the different parts of a 3D avatar. They chose the body, the head, the legs, the arms, and other parts.?Then the creature came to life. And the best part? You could share your masterpiece on social media for everyone to see!?

Space Invaders

Ah, the good old days! Do you remember playing Space Invaders - the classic multiplayer game that took the world by storm? ????

At the Riyadh Science Fair Space, we presented a new version!

In the multiplayer game we developed, the player controlled the spaceship by moving the body left or right in front of the screen. The goal was to destroy the enemies that came their way.?

Rocket Launch

Have you always dreamed of commanding the launching of a rocket? In this interactive experience you could do it with the movement of your own body! How? After the person was detected, indications appeared as to what the person had do to control the ship (lean to the sides so that the rocket didn’t fall or crash into another player, if there was more than one player). Did you launch yours?

AR Wildlife

Our "AR Space Wildlife" solution was a hit at the fair, with visitors being able to see new elements in their midst through the magic of augmented reality. It was a truly immersive experience, allowing people to coexist with astronauts, robots, aliens, and even extraterrestrial plants and plasma organisms. And let's not forget about the ability to terraform the environment - how cool is that?

One last curiosity

Did you know that at the fair 3474 robots were created, 5820 rockets were launched, 6478 people played Space Invaders, and there was a total of 9500 "space jumps"?

We are so proud to have been a part of the fair, and we couldn't have done it without you - the visitors who made it all possible. Thank you for making our experience at the fair one to remember. We can't wait to see what the future holds, and we promise to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible with technology.
