When it comes to arcade innovation, sometimes you have to look outside the usual places. This time, a French company, NeoXperiences, has stepped up with a new twist on the immersive reality room: the Neo-One.
What’s NeoXperiences All About?
NeoXperiences isn’t exactly new to the immersive arcade world, with the Scale-1 Portal from way back being their earlier creation. Over the years, they’ve refined their technology and even changed their name, but their core idea has stayed the same: interactive experiences that get people moving, playing, and having fun together.
Today, they call their main platform the Neo-One, and they’re taking aim at the big promise of interactive, full-body gaming, which is something that’s never quite gone mainstream, even though products like the Kinect tried years ago. But the Neo-One feels different: there are no wearables, no controllers (can vary depending on the game), and definitely no complex setups for players to fuss with. You just step in and start playing.
The Neo-One Immersive Room
The Neo-One is all about adaptability and innovation. Depending on your space, you can set it up with two, three, or four screens, which are labeled as Duo, Trio, and Quattro. Each version can be installed in several ways, which means arcade operators, family entertainment centers, and even gyms can find a setup that fits.
The Neo-One uses advanced sensors to track up to six players at once, forgoing the use of wearable gadgets or controllers. Moreover, the projection-based gameplay fills an entire wall (or walls), so the space transforms instantly into a playground, sports arena, or even an Angry Birds game. With thirty-five games available, which includes well-known hits like Angry Birds, it appeals to a wide range of ages and group sizes.
You could walk into an empty room and, with the Neo-One setup, turn it into a multi-player experience zone in minutes. There’s no need for permanent construction or complicated wiring.
More Than an Arcade Amusement
With all that said, NeoXperiences isn’t only about arcades. Their interactive walls are popping up in leisure centers, sports venues, retail spaces, and even schools. It’s more than just entertainment; these setups bring a new style of “sportainment” and edutainment that blends fun, fitness, and learning. With presence in over 25 countries so far, and millions of users entertained by their products, NeoXperiences’ walls cater to around 150,000 players every year.
When it comes to the software, their games are built for all ages, making them just as suitable for a trampoline park as for a corporate event or kids’ party. The Angry Birds license, above all else, is a major draw, instantly recognizable for almost anyone who’s ever played a mobile game.
And if you’re worried about installation or maintenance, NeoXperiences offers a 24-month parts warranty, and they’ll even buy back the system under certain conditions if it doesn’t meet expectations.
What About the Neo-One Arena?
For locations with different needs, the Neo-One Arena is another option. These systems use a single screen (or more in some models) and come in variations like the Slingshot and Carnival, which focus on ball toss gameplay. Think of them as an update on classic arcade concepts, but with modern, interactive tech.
While details about pricing aren’t public, it’s likely that the Arena options could be a more budget-friendly way to get into immersive reality rooms, especially for smaller venues or mobile events.
NeoXperiences might not be a household name like some other companies, but with the Neo-One and its flexible, controller-free play, they’re putting immersive group experiences back in the spotlight. If you’re looking to expand your arcade’s offering or want a new way to bring people together for fun and fitness, this is one platform worth keeping on your radar.
And if you’re headed to IAAPA 2025, it might be a good idea to check out their booth. With more games, features, and options likely in the pipeline, NeoXperiences is a name to watch in the evolving world of reality-based gaming.
