At this year’s IAAPA Attractions Expo, experiential design firm Holovis will launch its 360Golf concept.
An immersive mini-golf experience, the 360Golf concept uses specialist golf balls with exclusive technology that eliminates scorecards, little pencils and player disputes.
Once assigned to a player, the golf ball keeps score on a digital scoreboard and automatically tracks the number of strokes.
Sensors placed around the course can detect when a ball has been hit or collided with certain objects, triggering lighting, projection, audio and special effects to create a truly immersive experience.
Developed in partnership with Adventure Golf & Sports (AGS), the concept combines AGS 30 plus years of mini-golf design expertise with Holovis’ high-tech capabilities. A fully customisable concept, AGS’ design team and Holovis’ creative tech team will work alongside clients to create completely unique experiences.
Several pre-designed courses, with different themes including space, heist, museum and witch’s cauldron.
Holovis creative director Peter Cliff commented: “360Golf is a fantastic blend of our innovative technology with classic family fun – our creative capability from design to fabrication allows us to create a course for any location with nearly unlimited customisation to the theming and gameplay of the course.”
Scott Lundmark, president of AGS, said: “We’re truly excited about our partnership with Holovis to leverage their high-tech capabilities and combine them with our mini-golf design experience to create a fun, new product for many venues.”
The company will showcase the concept’s full capabilities with a playable course on their booth at this year’s IAAPA Attractions Expo.
