Prepare to experience magic and embark on an unforgettable adventure high above the breathtaking Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland! Genysys Engine, a local AI research and engineering company, invites you to experience "Become a Dragon Rider", an exhilarating virtual reality demo event.
Imagine stepping into a world where Irish myths and legends come alive! You'll settle onto a dragon saddle on our motion simulator, take hold of the reins, and feel the powerful presence of your very own AI-powered dragon. Each flight is a unique journey, as your intelligent companion charts its own course through the skies. But just like a wild steed, you can try to guide its path – will your dragon heed your call?
As you soar, the motion simulator will replicate every twist, dive, and climb, immersing you completely in the virtual world. Feel the wind on your face and even the heat of dragon's breath as you navigate the stunning landscapes. This isn't just a game; it's a visceral, multi-sensory experience that blurs the lines between imagination and reality.
Your Dragon Rider Journey Awaits:
The ticketed experience lasts around 30-40 minutes and includes:
- Check-in for your flight
- A comprehensive debriefing and "dragon training" experience to prepare you for your aerial escapade.
- Final safety checks to ensure a secure and exhilarating flight.
- Your epic dragon flight experience!
- Disembarkation and a unique souvenir photo: An AI photographer will capture your moment of triumph, creating a personalised keepsake of you commanding your dragon. Simply scan a QR code to download your digital memory!
