Adaptable to any age group.
Players can choose the games that are most interesting and appropriate.
Game types range from simple to difficult, educational to competitive,
and can involve one or multiple players. Locations that cater to special
events can transform their Lightspace® Play surface into a state of the
art interactive dance floor, which can display different effects
synchronized to music and react to dancers movements.
Ideal for birthday parties.
Over the last several years, birthday parties and similar group events
have become one of the largest sources of revenue for entertainment
centers.
Lightspace® Play provides an activity that all party guests can
do together. Groups of friends can compete against or cooperate with one
another in a wide variety of games.
Promotes healthy social interaction.
Most video games offer a solo experience. Even multi-player games
usually require players to concentrate on the screen in front of them
instead of the other players. Lightspace® Play activities are conducted
on a surface and allow players to interact with one another. The nature
of the experience fosters communication and healthy interaction.
Integrates physical activity and electronic entertainment.
The media has drawn a great deal of attention to the dangers associated
with the increasing rate of obesity, especially among children. In
contrast, physically interactive video games have made headlines
recently as a popular and effective form of exercise. The combination of
physical movement and the compelling nature of video games have led many
formerly sedentary people to spend several hours a week engaging in
aerobic activity and enjoying it. Lightspace® Play provides not only a
multifaceted source of entertainment, but also a fun way to keep fit.
Fits in with recent trends in consumer interest in video games.
The popularity of violent video games is giving way to interactive, more
physically challenging games such as paintball and laser tag. Many
entertainment centers do not have sufficient space to install paintball
or laser tag in their facilities. Lightspace® Play provides a way to
reap the benefits of this trend toward interactive games without having
to invest in new real estate.
Lightspace® Play is a revolutionary entertainment system that
combines the latest display and interactive technologies to
produce a recreational experience that will provide hours of fun
for children and adults of all ages. The system is capable of
storing and running a potentially limitless variety of games and
interactive programs that can be used by any number of
participants simultaneously. Lightspace® Play creates an
engaging experience that will draw young children, teenagers and
adults alike. Lightspace® Play provides significant return on
investment by generating the repeat-customer business so
critical for arcade and family entertainment center growth and
profitability.
Lightspace® Play includes an interactive floor surface comprised
of 16”x16” programmable LED lit and pressure sensitive tiles
constructed to fit a 10 foot square space. Each tile consists of
sixteen 4” x 4” pixels that can display any color, pattern or
image. The surface is able to detect location, movement and
density of players to give a realistic gaming experience.
Reactions to player movements are displayed on the surface and
are accompanied by sound effects.
The Lightspace® Play software is housed in a durable game
cabinet that is located next to the surface. Game cabinets can
be formatted for coin op and/or free play based on your
establishment or event. The Play software not only stores and
runs a vast array of games, but also provides a simple touch
screen interface for players to choose and pay for the games
they wish to play. New games can be downloaded quickly and
easily to the system enabling operators to keep their Play
system up to date and its appeal fresh without the need to
purchase new hardware.
