Run Through the World of Virtual Reality

PROTOTYPE is a company that plans and develops computer software and produces interaction designs. The company has just released their latest virtual simulator, the ”GodSpeed FreeRide+” which offer virtual enduro racing experiences using KTM FREERIDE 350. It will be exhibited at the 2nd Advanced Content Technology Expo held at Tokyo International Exhibition Center from Wednesday 29th June to Friday 1st July, 2016.

At the exhibition you will be able to experience the beautiful and dangerous roads of enduro races on a KTM FREERIDE 350 with a helmet equipped with ”HTC Vive” which enables virtual reality.

The rider will aim for the goal by running through the top of steep cliffs looking down at beautiful valleys.

Due to oscillating equipments which are used at 4DX theatres, the virtual experience has become more realistic. The movements of the handle, throttle, brake, gear, clutch of the KTM FREERIDE 350 will respond simultaneously and be reflected in the virtual zone.

Experience Drag Races with Harley Davidson V-ROD!

At the exhibition you will also be able to experience the ”Drag Racing eXstream+” using two V-ROD motorcycles that were exhibited at the HARLEY-DAVIDSON BLUE SKY HEAVEN recently.

The BLUE SKY HEAVEN isn’t a ”Roaring Screen” but a ”Roaring Experience”.

The History of PROTOTYPE INC.

#DIESELWATCH A BIKE RACE

In the past, PROTOTYPE has exhibited VR Simulation Events in which the rider runs through the streets of London on a classical ”NORTON”. As you know, London was the birthplace of café racers.

The situation takes place with two riders (one was a virtual rider) racing through the streets of London at night. Riders had to lean forward on the motorcycle to control the machine at high speed.
