Harry Potter + VR Ascend Studios vr experiences

We’re thrilled to have another Dreamscape virtual reality (VR) location completed. This amazing experience is located on 5th Ave in the heart of New York City. We partnered with Warner Brothers on this one to commission their specialized equipment and train their in-house staff. Next, we activated our super cool 24/7 support for our themed entertainment help desk services.

Ascend Support team at the Harry Potter VR Experience, NYC

This was the most themed out Dreamscape VR location yet. The store is a full-on Harry Potter experience that makes you feel you’re in the middle of Hogwarts. Coming from Orlando, we know theme parks! And this store makes you feel like you’re at Universal Studios. This location has two EPIC shows that are one of a kind that you can only experience at this location.

Wizards Take Flight

“Keep your brooms steady and fly into the Wizarding World. Meet Hagrid at Knockturn Alley and follow him through the skies of London while dodging and battling Death Eaters, casting spells with your wand. Escape through the clouds and soar over the Black Lake towards Hogwarts Castle where you can fly freely around the magical grounds. Accio Firebolt!” -Warner Brothers

Chaos at Hogwarts

“After missing the Hogwarts Express at King’s Cross Station, an unexpected friend helps get us to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Students! Dobby needs your help after accidentally letting loose a case full of magical creatures.

Journey through Hogwarts Castle and cast spells with your wand to immobilize Pixies. Discover hidden secrets and find out if you can manage the Chaos at Hogwarts.” -Warner Brothers This one is my favorite one for sure 🙂

It was such a great experience working with our friends at Dreamscape VR on another amazing site while also kicking off our relationship with Warner Brothers. So excited about all the new things coming for the team. Stay tuned!

Featured Project

Burns McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

Our friends at Burns McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to physically preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short in terms of real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall does allow for everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

Proud Partnership with Burns McDonnell

We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

Collaboration with Igloo Vision

In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room

We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

Easy Streaming and Control

The system allows the Burns McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

A Team Effort

This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
