The Surf Simulator at the Richmond Olympic Experience is a 5-DOF surfing simulator that lets riders experience some of the world’s best surf spots. We provided a custom dual-projector OmniFocus solution that maximizes the surfer’s ability to move around realistically without casting shadows. Image blending is managed by Omnity Pro, in a custom configuration for the screen inside the exhibit.

We worked collaboratively with the Richmond Olympic Oval team on the experience. The content is 360° video, filmed on location at surf spots and incorporated into a Unity project that uses DBOX software to move the surfboard in response to the exact motion data collected while filming. We then used SuperCubeMapper to port the content into WorldViewer for immersive projection. Everything runs on a single Elumenati IG, and we provided consulting at every stage in the process.  

The projectors are OmniFocus 30350s – 3840×2400 resolution at 7,000 lumens each.
