Valo Motion creates mixed-reality attractions and games that turn sports activities into immersive experiences. They have developed fully automated and interactive mixed-reality products like ValoArena, ValoJump, and  ValoClimb, which combine full-body movement with high-quality digital games to help people find the joy of movement. These attractions are popular at location-based entertainment venues such as family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, climbing gyms, hotels, resorts, and retail spaces. With ValoVision motion tracking technology, players see themselves inside the game while using their bodies as controllers to play and compete. There are more than 1500 Valo Motion attractions installed in over 75 countries that get more than 275,000 plays per day. The company is based in Helsinki, Finland.
