d'strict, the award winning New York and Seoul based 4D creative company, has announced that it will unveil its 'Live Park' concept at this week's Asian Attractions Expo 2011.

'Live Park' is d'strict's ground breaking theme park entertainment platform in which visitors interact with various 4D adventure platforms to create their own unique adventure, with avatars personalised to reflect facial characteristics. This is a new genre crossing over performance, exhibitions and gaming with its advanced 4D technology.

Due to be launched in November 2011, 'Live Park' is d'strict's innovative 4D attraction platform consisting of eight attraction zones comprising 13 adventures, three mixed reality performances and three mobile and web integration service platforms in a state-of-the-art three acre facility. 'LivePark' has a capacity for 250 visitors to simultaneously create their own avatars that guide them through a series of bespoke experiences including multiplayer games, quests, adventures and performances.

d'strict Chief Executive and Creative Director Eunseok Chey explains "'Live Park' is a never been seen before, next-generation mixed-reality experience. It's a global service platform integrating the innovative technologies and creativity of d'strict. 'Live Park' represents a significant technological milestone that will completely revolutionize the future theme park model."

'Live Park' is a completely new kind of entertainment platform using the world's leading convergent and crossover technologies. Spatial interactive games, mixed reality and hologram performances have been brought together to create an exciting, user-generated experience unlike any other 4D attraction.

What is unique about 'Live Park' compared to all other 4D rides is that visitors create their own adventure. 'Live Park' enables them to drive the story forward similar to an MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game), but is both a virtual and tangible real world experience. Smart phones can also be used as controllers in 'Live Park'. This allows visitors incredible levels of interactivity with the attraction, for instance they can check their accumulated items during the adventure in real-time, and even 'throw' items from their smart phones to screen.

'Live Park' includes one of the world's largest 360 degree panoramic 3D screen and a 150 metre x 9 metre supersized screen, allowing players to engage in a fully immersive experience via their mobile device. Mana Sound, an integral part of 'Live Park' showcased for the first time during the expo, translates simple body movements simultaneously into beautiful sounds and augmented reality images.

Founded in 2000, d'strict has become one of the world's leading 4D creative companies. Based in New York and Seoul, d'strict has been creating revolutionary, award winning UX products and solutions by bringing together next generation technologies such as gesture and sound sensing, motion capture and vision processing, as well as multi-touch interfaces with future display, R&D outputs including 3D holographic movies, stereoscopic 3D motion video, architectural display and dome displays.

d'strict will also be exhibiting its Universal Frame, a multi-touch screen 'Live Park' platform at the Asian Attractions Expo, at which it is a Gold Sponsor.

d'strict's exhibit is at booth 1301 at the event.

Asian Attractions Expo is being held from 22nd to 24th June at Resort World Sentosa, Singapore.
