What an interesting idea to have a bunch of drunk people near an intense motion simulating device.

Hahahah was thinking the same. Wonder what the monthly clean-up expenses are π€£
Absolutely nothing. Janitorial staff are paid poverty wages.
I think that is only for demonstration of the refresh rate and colors. I can imagine it being used to "place" the room stationary in specific places. Like to watch animals in africa or fish underwater. Or on a mountain for the view.
That looks cool in video, but I bet itβs super annoying and distracting to actually sit in
Yeh, also it's forced perspective aka the Trompe l'Oeil effect.
If you are sitting in the corner, it probably looks strange
I'm struggling to figure out how this is forced perspective, it's just sloshing water with no frame of reference for scale?!
I guess, the point is that when you sit near the wall, it will look like the wave is travelling the angled wall super fast to then transfer to the perpendicular wall and move normally.
I guess, that constant shaking and splashing was chosen for a demonstration exactly because it obscures the fact that travel speeds aren't consistent
The fact that all the video is from 1 angle is the biggest giveaway.
If it was good inside the box, there would be loads of footage from there. That would be a very unique experience, because all of these things are forced perspective. It's just the way a 3d scene being rendered onto 2d surface viewed in a 3d world works.
The water is probably abstract enough that it's not as noticeable, but I bet it looks weird AF (and not in a good way) when you are sitting in there
If you search 5D party room there are plenty around.
This is awesome, now I can have a panic attack and an epileptic seizure at the same time.
Get seasick and vomit in less than a minuteβ¦ π€’
This is awesome Iβve always wanted a club where I can throw up even when Iβm the designated driver
May be stating the obvious or missing the point, but this is just a 3d render, right? Nothing about this looks like it exists in the real world.
I don't know, it looks like something quite possible, but it doesn't seem like neither night club, nor a thing worth making π
It's real, search 5d party room for other examples.
Ahh amazing, thank you! I went searching for other videos but couldn't find any. Somehow didn't occur to me that the objects on the ceiling in OP's video, with the exception of the speakers, were images on a video wall too :). Explains the weird way it looks!
It does look strangely unreal! The video compression probably doesn't help.
this is definitely a render but Hughes Research Labs in Malibu had a room like this in the early 90s, they called it the Cave, using projectors synced up to several computers. meant for one user at a time.
Disneyland Anaheim had a giant room circled by projectors in the 1980s where visitors would stand while holding a handrail and they showed river rafting videos that weren't as crazy as this.
VR caves are still a thing. It's also the technique used for virtual production, with the backgrounds rendered in realtime in Unreal Engine, trackers on the camera for positional data, or camera on a robot arm which negates the need for trackers. It's very cool tech that opens up a lot of possibilities that would be prohibitively expensive to shoot for real.
Interesting! The university I attended had a similar room using projectors, but it was never as impressive as this. They did have it rigged to play Doom, though!

Like a prototype holodeck xD
More or less ha ha
less
Submersive*
Who wouldn't love a good night of seizure inducing and motion sickness?
Looking forward to Jamiroquai redoing Virtual Insanity here.
That would just constantly make me need a piss
It's called C-SIK
