AFT International Sports & Fitness Festival (#SpoFiFe) + Move VR Walk kicks off
Exercise is now gamified with this XR film and podcast.
SpoFiFe News | 7:00pm, 24 September 2023
Welcome to the inaugural AFT International Sports & Fitness Festival, and the Move8 VR Walk-a-Hunt, Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur edition - an experiential walkathon that saw over 100 people walk and solve clues along the way, with a 360-degree view to discover Bukit Bintang in XR film, audio narrated podcast and live-stream. It’s exercise, gamified! No VR headsets necessary.
We set out to create activities that can be inclusive of all, what’s come out of this, is the gamification of a culture-rich experience that is accessible and inclusive, that we hope will leave no one except footsteps behind.
The Move8 VR Walk-a-Hunt takes participants on a 7KM walk around the park and Bukit Bintang KLCC Tourism Association’s malls. Enjoy the journey and do check your inbox (Spam box too) for updates.
[Spoiler alert]
There are 8 Checkpoints throughout the 7KM route.
Click “Play Now” below to quickly glance through the Clues & Mission for each Checkpoint.
If you don’t want the spoilers and wish to try this out, show up in-person at KLCC Park at any time and do this at your own pace. If you’re nowhere near Kuala Lumpur, you can join in the fun via the video links. No VR goggles necessary, but if you do have it handy, it’ll bring you right into the scenes.
P.S. We’re in the news!
