Holoventure

Holoventure (TL10^)

Holotech projection technology (see Holoprojector) and sophisticated computers permit the creation of realistic adventure-theme parks without the need for virtual reality. For $150/day, gamers can join a party of like-minded individuals for several days of escapism in the setting and genre of their choice.

Special effects, from wizardly lightning bolts to vast battles, are easily accomplished by holotech projections and sonic projections, aided by occasional live actors and remote-control robots. Using sophisticated laser and visual sensors, a Complexity 8+ computer monitors the interaction between the live adventurers and the holograms, and makes them react accordingly. It can even "overlay" holographic images onto a living person.

Holoventure technology is not restricted to recreational use. They are used in military or exploration training exercises, and less sophisticated systems can provide special effects for stage productions.
