Six Flags, Samsung announce 'mixed reality' roller coaster

By -
Amusement stop monster Six Flags and Samsung on Wednesday reported that they are collaborating to make another, "blended reality" ride called The New Revolution Galactic Attack. 

The experience is slated to open the few days of Feb. 26 at Six Flags Magic Mountain close Los Angeles and on Feb. 20 at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom close San Francisco. Perused on for points of interest. 


The New Revolution Galactic Attack offers a gaming-like affair where riders must make "key choices … that can influence their scoring toward the end," the organizations said in a news discharge. At the point when riders board the liners, they'll put on a Samsung Gear VR headset and be informed on the gadget's "passthrough camera usefulness," which gives them a chance to see this present reality — including the individual situated by them — in addition to virtual substance. 

As they get settled in, a show overlay will indicate information like the present status of weaponry, time codes, power devices, and a commencement clock. Here's a depiction from the organizations of what's in store from that point: 

"Peaking the lift slope, a monstrous, twirling wormhole comes into view. As riders drop at high speeds, the blended reality see changes to a totally immersive, virtual reality environment and a warrior spaceship cockpit appears and wraps the riders into a passage of light. At the base of the principal slope, riders are propelled into the center of a space fight, going under assault from flying automatons terminating lasers and rockets. Subsequent to swinging through tight channels, barely avoiding automatons and big guns shoot, riders are brought into one of three automaton narrows, each of which offer a totally unique gaming background and three distinct endings." 

Six Flags isn't really constructing new crazy rides for this. Visitors will encounter it on two existing napkins: The New Revolution at Magic Mountain and Kong at Discovery Kingdom. 

Then, this is not the first run through Six Flags and Samsung have worked together. The organizations initially collaborated the previous spring to present North America's first virtual reality thrill rides.

In a couple of interesting briefings last week, BlackBerry announced that its turnaround was finished, and Microsoft finally provided some information on its new connected car deliverables. One strange thing was that after CEO John Chen excitedly pointed out that BlackBerry had displaced Microsoft in Ford, he then announced a strategic initiative to work more closely with Microsoft's Azure platform on BlackBerry's own market-leading  QNX  car operating system. That showcased not only the massive changes in both companies, but also the really strange way this market is evolving. I'll close with my product of the week: a very low-cost wearable smartphone display that could get you through your next dentist appointment or boring sermon. BlackBerry's QNX With all the focus on the coming autonomous car and on BlackBerry's old phone business, most don't know that QNX, the operating system that BlackBerry acquired, is dominant in the car market, largely...

NASA Data Suggests “Dry Ice” Snowfall on Mars

Utilizing information from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers have recognized carbon-dioxide snow mists on Mars and proof of carbon-dioxide snow tumbling to the surface. Pasadena, California — NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter information have given researchers the clearest prove yet of carbon-dioxide snowfalls on Mars. This uncovers the main known case of carbon-dioxide snow falling anyplace in our nearby planetary group. Solidified carbon dioxide, otherwise called "dry ice," requires temperatures of about short 193 degrees Fahrenheit (less 125 Celsius), which is much colder than required for solidifying water. Carbon-dioxide snow reminds researchers that albeit a few sections of Mars may look very Earth-like, the Red Planet is altogether different. The report is being distributed in the Journal of Geophysical Research. "These are the main authoritative identifications of carbon-dioxide snow mists," said the report's lead creator...
