Rema's House

Premiere Installation:

Title: Rema's House

Ride: FutureZone

Location: TePapa, Wellington, NZ

** This is a custom application owned by the Te Papa Museum. This application is not for sale**

The first V.V.T. was installed recently at Te Papa, New Zealand's newly opened national museum (Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tangarewa) located in Wellington, New Zealand. Two V.V.T. systems were installed in 6 player configurations, allowing up to 12 people to interact simultaneously. The V.V.T. is part of a three-part ride experience called Future Rush. Future Rush begins with a laser light show called the TimeSkip and ends with a 12-person motion-capsule ride. In between these is the 5 minute long Vivid Virtual Theater experience called Rema's House.

Meet Rema, the girl from the future. Rema wants to show you the kinds of things the future has to offer. Rema is a fully motion-capture driven pre-rendered animated character with integrated lip synch (like Dot from ReBoot) and acts as the animated host for Rema's House. Her role is that of both host and teacher; by performing the actions which the participants are expected to do in order to interact, Rema insures that first-time visitors will fully enjoy the experience.
