Saudi Arabia’s events industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by a nationwide emphasis on cultural growth, tourism expansion, and public engagement. As large-scale festivals, citywide celebrations, entertainment seasons, and corporate exhibitions continue to increase in scale and complexity, organisers are seeking experiential technologies that combine interactivity, safety, and strong visual appeal.
Power Punch AR, developed by NXT Interactive, aligns directly with these emerging needs. It is a motion-tracking augmented reality activation that converts physical punches into real-time digital power. Designed for high-throughput, family-friendly environments, Power Punch AR is engineered to support indoor and outdoor public events, corporate activations, youth initiatives, and entertainment zones across cities in the Kingdom.
What Power Punch AR Is
Power Punch AR is a short, high-energy digital experience where participants step into a designated play zone and use their hands and arms to strike incoming virtual energy orbs. The game lasts approximately 30 seconds, enabling continuous participant rotation and strong spectator engagement.
The experience requires no controllers, wearable devices, or touchpoints, making it suitable for open public spaces and large venues with high visitor volume.
How It Works
1. Motion Tracking Hardware
The system uses advanced depth sensors to accurately detect body movement, ensuring seamless tracking of punches and defensive gestures.
2. AR Gameplay Engine
Energy rings appear around the participant’s fists, and digital orbs move toward them. Striking the orbs results in instant visual effects, particle bursts, and score increments.
3. Scoring & Leaderboard
The system can display real-time leaderboards, encouraging competition during multi-day festivals or corporate team engagement activities.
4. Visual & Audio Feedback
High-contrast visual effects and strong audio cues contribute to a compelling, high-energy experience suitable for busy environments.
5. Full Customisation
Organisers can customise backgrounds, colour palettes, game intensity, thematic elements, and branded end screens.
