Experience World’s First-Ever Virtual Walk-Through of UNESCO World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu
Cityneon's First Foray into Artefacts IP Exhibition – Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru Brings the Ancient Andean Civilization Back to Life
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 30 August 2021 - This October, visitors to the world's premiere of the Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru exhibition in Boca Raton, South Florida are set to be wowed, as they immerse themselves in the awe of the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu and embark on a fascinating journey with the ancient civilizations of Peru through a full-motion 360-degree all-round interactive Virtual Reality (VR) experience like never before. The early access online ticket portal is now open to the public at BocaMuseum.org/Golden.
Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru
With the exclusive approval granted by the Peruvian Government to fly drones
through the magnificent site of Machu Picchu, Cityneon leveraged on the team's
state-of-the-art Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to capture the best-in-class
cinematic and visual assets of the invaluable UNESCO World Heritage Site, to
create an immersive experience consisting of outstanding virtual reality,
sophisticated augmented reality system and in-person interaction elements.
To preserve this invaluable historical site, less than 1 million travellers are
allowed entry into Machu Picchu every year. With the recent global pandemic
situation, the need for social distancing and other measures, this number has
further dipped to 250,000.
Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru aims to
bring this rare UNESCO World Heritage site to people from all over the world
virtually. This
one-of-its-kind exhibition will showcase the first-ever virtual walk-through of
Machu Picchu through the utilization of globally-acclaimed patented VR motion
chairs fully equipped with premium multi-sensory stimulation features such as
high-resolution six degrees of freedom (6-DOF) VR headsets, haptic feedback on
the backseats, scent dispensers and unlimited 360-degree rotation, allowing
visitors to travel back time to see, hear, feel and even smell the mysterious city in the sky. Visitors will journey through the vast
expanse of Andean history alongside the mythical hero Ai Apaec, to discover the
mysteries of Andean cosmology.
Besides the unique VR experience, the exhibition also features the largest
Andean gold collection ever to travel the world. This new museum experience
highlights a selection of 192 artefacts from royal tombs, including objects
that belonged to noble Andean lords, many never seen out of Peru before.
One of the exhibition's highlights is a fully intact gold attire of a Chimú
Emperor that dates to 1300 AD. With their longevity and engineering only
rivalled by the Ancient Egypt and the Roman Empire, the Andean societies
dominated a substantial segment of South America for over 3,000 years straight
through the reign of the Incan Empire.
Cityneon's Executive Chairman & Group CEO Mr. Ron Tan said, "It's
enthralling for Cityneon to have the opportunity to present to new audiences
these remarkable pieces of rare Andean artefacts. Cityneon's strong track
record of staging immersive experiences globally with record-breaking visitor
numbers reflects our strength in delivering high-quality experiences to
visitors from around the world. Through this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition,
visitors will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with history in a way
that has never been done before. With this exhibition, visitors can personally
feel the magnificence of Machu Picchu like they are physically there, while
exploring the ancient cultures who lived in this city 7,000 feet above sea
level in the Andes Mountains."
"Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru is an impressive and extensive
exhibition that showcases the limitless potential of VR technology," said Mr.
Anthony Tann, President of World Heritage Exhibitions. "There are hundreds of
ancient artefacts to admire, and I am excited to welcome visitors to experience
this monumental period of human history through the lens of virtual reality.
This exhibition was put together by many talented individuals and excellent technology,
and I am certain it will be a memorable and enchanting experience for many to
enjoy."
In alignment to Cityneon's corporate philosophy of "Big Ideas, Bigger
Experiences", the global experience entertainment company has put together an award-winning
team behind this multi-million-dollar exhibition with one goal - to push limits
and break boundaries to create the most immersive, breath-taking and realistic experience
for audiences worldwide.
Cityneon currently partners with foreign governments, world-renowned museums,
heritage organizations and major movie studios to hold exclusive IP exhibitions,
creating iconic experiences for their visitors from all over the world. To
date, the Group has toured their IP experiences in excess of 50 cities
worldwide.
Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru is Cityneon's
first artefact IP exhibition, and is made possible with the support of the
Ministry of Culture and the Peruvian Government, and through a close
collaboration with its valued partners, the Museo Larco and Inkaterra
Asociación, the World Heritage Exhibitions and the Boca Rotan Museum of Art.
