I
t’s safe to say that HOLOGATE - headquartered in Munich, Germany with a branch office in Los Angeles,
California - has enjoyed an eventful year with the launch of some seriously exciting and innovative products. Perhaps most exciting is HOLOGATE's
upcoming VR release, Ghostbusters VR Academy, based on the world-renowned and immensely popular Ghostbusters franchise. This follows hot on the heels
of the release of two brand-new gaming platforms from HOLOGATE, as the company continues to blaze a trail in location-based entertainment. Next on HOLOGATE’s busy agenda is IAAPA Expo in Orlando, as founder
and CEO Leif Petersen explains: “IAAPA Orlando 2022 will be a tremendous show for us! We will be showcasing some cool new products, and we also have some huge surprises for everyone during our Ghostbusters sneak peek that will certainly be the talk of the expo!”

ANSWERING THE CALL There are countless Ghostbusters fans out there who have long fantasised about finding themselves behind the wheel of an Ecto-1, or wielding the power of a proton blaster. HOLOGATE is the first to ‘answer the call’ with Ghostbusters VR Academy - a unique, challenging and impressively immersive training simulator - is about to make this a reality. HOLOGATE has partnered with Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR),
in association with Ghost Corps, to create the exciting new VR release. It comprises two distinct games on HOLOGATE’s pioneering multi-player VR platform, HOLOGATE ARENA, and its premium VR motion simulator, HOLOGATE BLITZ, taking place in the world of Ghostbusters. In the ARENA game, academy trainees strap on their proton packs and
work together as a team in high-risk ghost encounter scenarios. They learn how to trap ghosts - or blow them to smithereens, depending on what’s at stake. As they are guided through each challenging level, each ghost will become more menacing than the last, and defeating them will demand greater skill, strategy, and collaboration. But, no matter what, academy trainees must not cross the streams.
