DELL MIXED REALITY GOLF
ABOUT THE EVENT
Brought to you by the Dell Technologies and the PGA’s World Golf Championship, Dell's Pitchplex: Mixed Reality Golf is a breathtaking next step in hybrid reality powered by Unreal Engine.
Combining interactive virtual reality with 3D Live’s uniquely holographic 3D LED wall, Pitchplex envelops players in a completely immersive 3D virtual reality, while simultaneously allowing spectators to join in the experience as the holographic visuals wrap around and react to the player’s movements.
In Mixed Reality Golf, each active player wears an Oculus Rift headset while holding a real pitching wedge that tracks the user’s motion. The virtual golfer is able to hit balls into glowing targets, which then propel a second ball through a series of machines. Pitchplex is a race against the clock to advance the ball through the machines and into the hole before time runs out.
Designed for multiplayer competition, two friends can play at once, to see who can make the best time. Audiences are able to watch the players in a fully 3D environment– when a player hits a ball towards a target, spectators can see it’s trajectory, requiring only passive 3D glasses to witness the holographic effect.
Pitchplex: Mixed Reality Golf was debuted on March 20th, 2017 at Dell Match Play in Austin, TX. The exhibit, which included four Oculus Rift stations and a 25 ft by 15 ft 3D LED wall ran through the duration of the event in the Dell Match Play Fan Village.
