By now, you’ve probably heard of the recent breakthroughs in the field of AI. It seems like there’s reports of new possibilities every day, and also new fears. Is artificial intelligence becoming too smart, possibly leading us down a path of destruction and inevitable doom? Closely examine any of these real-world “breakthroughs” and they probably fall short of your expectations. But what would happen if an AI was created that was exactly what it seemed to be: truly intelligent, and truly alive? And what if some of those fears around AI turned out to be just as real? In Project ARi, guests take on the role of test subjects in a trial designed to test their limits, dreamed up by an advanced artificial intelligence for unclear ends. You’ll endure four tests of your physical and mental abilities. More than any one single ride, Project ARi is a Location-Based Entertainment Destination consisting of a set of interlinked, story-driven interactive experiences culminating in a highly interactive simulator ride. With themed environments, games, and rides, it offers an immersive experience unlike anything you’ve seen before. Not just that, but Project ARi offers theme park level excitement while keeping modularity in mind. It’s unique “building block” system allows for flexible build layouts perfect for implementation in major theme parks, but also in existing commercial structures or other non-traditional locations such as shopping malls or city centers.
