SpaceQuest Casino Through a window eighty feet wide the Earth glides silently by. Traffic today is light, a few space taxis and Hilton Space Limos drift through. Fifteen hundred miles below, the sun glints off the Mediterranean Sea. The nearly full moon rises behind the Earth as the local City in Space looms into view.
Just another day in orbit, 350 years into the future.
The SpaceQuest Casino in the Las Vegas Hilton is the largest virtual reality environment ever. The window convinces your eyes that we're not in Nevada any more and the Sci-Fi announcements in the room complete the sense of being somewhere not of this time.
This is a new thing for Las Vegas: The casino AS the attraction.
Metavision designed, created and produced the sights and sounds of this amazing casino and conquered new technical and aesthetic high ground in the process.
The window's main loop is 20 minutes long and invisibly inserts alternate scenes which extend the experience to many hours. Metavision's breakthrough technological advances extend to the remarkable QuVis corporation who supplied the custom High Definition video servers for the display. The view is higher resolution than anything seen on film, its full image frames are over 20% wider than the highest resolution IMAX frames! It has already started winning awards.
Does this make it out of this world?
