Valo Motion is expanding its game experience by launching an Active eSports League for Mixed-Reality (XR) trampoline and climbing wall: called ValoLeague. With an infrastructure of over 700 installations in more than 55 countries, players can now compete from their local activity park or gym to become the global champion.
“Sports or games are favourite pastimes for many of us and competitions always spice up the challenge. By combining sports, games, and competitions, we get Active eSports League. It encourages people to move and challenge each other on a global scale, while still having awesome fun! ” says Dr Raine Kajastila, CEO and founder of Valo Motion.
Through the combination of physical sports and digital gameplay, Active eSports encourages an active lifestyle and offers sports and gaming enthusiasts a gamified sports experience. In times of limited travel opportunities, the Active eSports League allows players to easily connect and learn from other players globally to improve skills and grow endurance. Valo Motion’s global device infrastructure and technology act as a platform to grow a global community of athletes who compete from their local park or gym. Seasonal competitions ensure a continuous incentive to train and reach the top rank.
Active eSports League’s games and competitions can be played time-independently but also simultaneously while being safe, hygienic and intuitive to use and require no wearables.
The games use intriguing game mechanisms that encourage players to train and improve their gameplay while enjoying the workout and keeping the level of physical exercising high. By adding competitive gameplay mechanisms, players are incited to repetitive play which can elevate their performance and endurance.
Games’ scoring and ranking are done in real-time, and easy to access and monitor for players on their phone by using ValoApp, a mobile application as a new companion to Valo Motion games. ValoApp includes seamless video and game saving, and video sharing options to allow players to compare their game history, view other players’ games and easily compare sports and training videos.
While for the launch the competitions are organized globally, ValoLeague and its competitions are designed to fit local events and tournaments in markets where the physical presence of larger groups are operable. The technology and games enable park owners and entertainment centres to create competitive games experience for their customers according to local regulations.
