1. Augmented Reality Driver Meet & Greet Zones

At designated fan zones, give visitors the chance to meet drivers via AR. Using tablets or AR glasses, fans could stand beside a life-sized 3D rendering of their favorite racer, get virtual photos, or see stats and helmet visuals overlayed in real time.

NXT Interactive, as an AR development company in Saudi Arabia, can build these zones to be immersive but scalable—no heavy headsets required—integrating brand overlays, sponsor logos, and seamless switching between drivers.

2. Virtual Reality Pit & Garage Tours

Offer fans a behind-the-scenes pass via VR. Let them walk through the pit lane, experience a tire change from a mechanic’s POV, or see how engineers monitor live telemetry.

As a VR development company with regional presence, NXT Interactive can create high-fidelity VR experiences synced with real-time race data or pre-recorded sequences—making every fan feel like they’re part of the team.

3. Gamified AR Track Challenges

Turn the circuit surroundings into a playground. Using AR, fans can chase virtual checkpoints around fan zones or the circuit perimeter, collect digital tokens, answer F1 trivia, or compete in time trials.

Behind the scenes, NXT’s gamification tech captures data on movement, preferences, and dwell times—giving organizers insight into which zones drew the most footfall.

4. Interactive LED & Projection Installations

Use motion sensors and projection mapping on large walls or facades (e.g. sponsor walls, pit buildings). When fans pass by, visuals animate: tire tracks glow, cars rush forward, or zoom-ins show driver profiles.

With NXT’s expertise in interactive projection and real-time visuals, these installations can be synchronized across multiple surfaces to deliver a cohesive show that draws crowds and social media buzz.

5. Real-Time Analytics Dashboards for Fan Engagement

Make every interaction count. As fans play AR games, use kiosks, or stream VR content, all data funnels into an analytics dashboard showing hotspots, engagement peaks, and conversion funnels.

NXT’s dashboard tech helps event teams understand which fan zones were most visited, how long people stayed, and which activations drove the strongest engagement—helping refine future events.

Bring the Experience to Life with NXT Interactive

These five ideas are more than gimmicks—they’re building blocks for a future-forward, data-driven F1 fan experience in Saudi Arabia.

NXT Interactive, one of the leading AR/VR development companies in the region, can help you design and execute these immersive zones—from AR meet & greets and VR tours, to gamified challenges and projection spectacles.

Let’s turn your next F1 activation into a destination fans talk about long after the checkered flag drops.
