With the huge success of AR game “Pokemon Go” has raised the awareness of the demand for AR/VR technology in Korea. Korean companies as well as the Korean government know that consumers in Korea are curious about how AR/VR technology can change their everyday life for the better.
Lotte World, one of the biggest amusement parks in South Korea will lead a consortium of 12 companies tasked with developing a virtual reality (VR) theme park program.
Basically there is one roller coaster with VR system and now they are going to show another one next year. Actually, I tried this roller coaster and found out that it was thriller and scarier than usual roller coasters. It was more visualized and feel like I am adventuring
The Lotte consortium will work with companies abroad and at home to create the virtual attraction, and is also planning to distribute the VR content it develops to markets such as China, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, before going to Europe and Americas thereafter.
I think Virtual Reality will become huge part of this modern society. This technique will be bigger and bigger as time goes on. Many companies already started developing their program with VR not just amusement park. In games and entertainment contents, people already enjoy VR system.
