Electric Gamebox - a location-based immersive gaming platform - has announced a partnership with video game developer Rovio Entertainment to launch a lifesize Angry Birds game.

A first-of-its-kind experience, the platform utilises a combination of Lidar and 3D motion tracking, projection mapping, and touchscreen technology to immerse multiple users in a single experience without the need for a VR headset. Each Gamebox can support two to six players simultaneously as they interact with a variety of experiences lasting anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes.

An Angry Birds adaptation of the game will see players competing in teams to destroy adversaries with slingshots, using their own two hands to topple opposing digital towers.

“Rovio’s mission is to craft joy, so being able to bring the iconic Angry Birds game to an in-person, life-sized environment is a wonderful opportunity and Electric Gamebox is the perfect partner to do this with,” said Katri Chacona, director, Brand Licensing at Rovio Entertainment.

“Our fans are ready to have yet another way to play a game we all know and love!”
