Butterfly and Wingsuit Join the Portfolio of Museum Birdly Experiences
The Birdly Experience Portfolio is expanding for 2023! Through a collection of electrifying adventures in the sky and underwater, the Birdly platform now includes Butterfly and Wingsuit with next gen graphics and new, gamified features.
Birdly is a one-of-a-kind full body, immersive flight-simulator designed for museum audiences – a synthesis of engineering, robotics, game design, bio-mechanics, and virtual reality.
“D3D is thrilled to be launching these two new experiences – and two new avatars – into the Birdly museum network. Both shows raise the bar for the Birdly simulator platform, featuring next-generation game engine graphics and remarkable ‘virtual realism.’ With monarchs joining the endangered species list, now is a critical time to reach audiences with butterfly conservation science – and Birdly delivers a memorable science-storytelling vehicle,” said Mark Katz, SVP of Film Distribution & VR Experiences.
“Wingsuit marks the first multiplayer, gamified experience for the platform – race friends or compete for top records in high-speed time trials. Both shows were a hit at the ASTC conference this fall, and we’re excited about additional announcements around the corner,” said Don Kempf, President & Founder of D3D.
D3D is proud to be the North American distributor of Birdly for the museum, zoo, aquarium and institutional market.
About Birdly
Science centers have long offered airplane and rocket flight simulators, but Birdly delivers a full-body flying experience for natural history and technology enthusiasts alike. Unlike the side-effects of conventional VR, Birdly eliminates the nauseating sensory disconnect by taking the rider’s body on the journey in perfect visual, acoustic and equilibrium synchronicity. Built on the bio-mechanics of flight, this mission-aligned simulator is a location-based attraction that offers a novel, Instagram-friendly, experiential approach to conservation storytelling. With avatars like birds, pterosaurs, insects and manta rays, Birdly blends haptic engineering, robotics, game design, and virtual reality to take audiences on an exhilarating free-exploration of the natural world.
