Lightspeed Design, Inc. / DepthQ®, located in Bellevue, WA, USA, is an accomplished virtual and augmented reality creator, leveraging our talents in both storytelling and technology to create fresh, exciting cutting-edge attractions and branded experiences.

DepthQVR AQUA is a fun, engaging, immersive ride & casual gaming experience, a layered experiential environment filled with intuitive interaction, story immersion, and exhilaration.

This novel application of virtual reality technology simulates a traditional indoor amusement ride on which passengers aboard a guided vehicle travel through specially lit scenes that typically contain video, animation, sound, music, game interactives, and special effects.

We support Steam VR and 'Desktop' (non VR) gameplay modes; 'Desktop' is supported via Keyboard/Mouse and Xbox Controller.

The AQUA themeology is a gaming skin, a stage dress that sits atop our evolving and entertaining game mechanics.

The addition of optional motion simulation technology transforms DepthQVR® into a realistic ride experience for out-of-home PC Café, Entertainment Attractions, Brand Experiences, and Educational Attractions.

The ride's immersive participatory nature, playful ‘natural-touch’ interactivity, and exhilarating body motion surprises and delights viewers of all ages, sparking lasting memories.

DepthQVR is both a technology and an immersive attraction enhanced with motion and interactivity, that captures the viewers' attention to deliver compelling and memorable experiences.  It is an evolving effort by Lightspeed Design that unites our well-seasoned talents and expertise in attraction design, consumer engagement, and event technology to help you create fresh and exciting experiences.  Applications include attractions for theme parks, experiential vehicles, cinema lobbies, museums, heritage centers and event marketing.

DepthQVR supports four immersive display technologies: Head Mounted Display, 3D Curved Torus Projection, 4K Dome, and 4K Flat (TV's, LED walls, Projection).  Pick your desired format and we customize the playback.

...combines high performance cinematic 360° 3D film and realtime graphics with a fluid, integrated motion base and contactless in-air interactivity.  DepthQVR technology delivers both 360° and 16:9 HD video integration with spectacular 90 FPS color and resolution in HMD, and 4K 60 FPS in our other output formats, for unparalleled viewer "presence".  Gaze-driven exploration and an interactive experience free from hand-controllers provide an intuitive and gratifying visitor experience with little to no instruction!

Your guests gently float through a visually stunning re-themeable attraction dressed with your branding, videos and assets.  This interactive virtual space is like a guided flight through the Guggenheim - but the art and message is yours.

Nothing in VR creates gasps of surprise and delight like seeing your own hands interact with the objects around you without the need for hand-controllers or training.  It's literally like magic!

AQUA - An Immersive Ride Experience at ISE 2020 Amsterdam

We want to thank ISE for the invitation to present our DepthQVR project, and also the backing of our integration team and technologies: VIOSO, Digital Projection, Jaymar, D-BOX, Azure Kinect, and Ultraleap.

The project was executive produced by Lightspeed Design, Inc. and featured DepthQVR technology. Our attendees sat in a red Jaymar luxury chair fitted with a D-Box motion base and were taken on a virtual interactive aquatic-themed ride without the need for a VR headset. The ride took place inside a curved 2.75 x 1.8 metre VIOSO Panadome screen using three E-Vision Laser projectors, courtesy of Digital Projection.
