Augment Your Reality at Ponce City Market

Virtual reality has gotten a lot of attention over the last several years, and for very good reason. Immersing yourself in entirely new worlds is pretty amazing and only going to get hotter. What’s gotten lost in the fray a bit is this little thing called Augmented Reality. This is where animated images are added to your human experience via video.

Some of you may remember the Pokemon Go trend. When we all walked around the world with a smartphone app and that altered (augmented) our whole experience by adding the elusive Pokemon characters into our whole human experience.

We’ve since learned that there are better ways these days to experience AR, and one of them is at your service at The Roof at Ponce City Market.

Verse Atlanta is a new augmented reality experience at The Roof at Ponce City Market, and it’s much more immersive than the old Pokemon Go with your phone.

Verse provides you with special augmented reality visors that “bring 3D characters and stories to life, immersing you and your companions in interactive tales that unfold all around.”

Verse Atlanta says this about Augmented Reality versus Virtual Reality. “While VR isolates you from the real world, AR enhances the world in front of you while still allowing you to interact with your surroundings. VR is also notorious for causing motion sickness – but with AR you can see your surroundings, meaning that you will NOT get motion sickness!”

There are a number of experiences to choose from for you AR experience – Deck the Holograms , Primal Ranch, Star Walk , The Unreal Garden, Art of the Future and Astro League all over unique, themed experiences.
