The Magic Carpet Theater at the Buell Children's Museum is about to get a bit more magic with a new large-scale virtual reality program called PlayMotion. Both physically and mentally interactive, Playmotion is a visually stunning playground where the full-body movements of children are projected into a variety of backgrounds.

Playmotion!, based in Atlanta, GA, is the leading provider of immersive, motion-based interactive experiences.
Using nothing but the human body, the company's technology allows the user or player to interact with games in the most natural way possible.
PlayMotion has been featured in such places as WIRED Magazine, The Today Show, and the Discovery Channel.
This time-tested, field-proven technology has been chosen by firms such as: Nike, Google, Atari, and Red Bull, as well as some of the largest theme parks in the world.
The best way to experience PlayMotion is in person at the Buell Children's Museum.
Throughout the year, the Buell Children's Museum will feature a variety of PlayMotion programs:
Spectrum: Dance and play as rainbows of ever-changing color radiates from your moving body. Paint mesmerizing spirals and washes on the wall.
My Solar System: Imagine you are a titan as you manipulate the planets of our solar system with your own arms and hands. Protect the Earth from rogue asteroids within the shelter of your outstretched arms, or try tossing Mars and Venus into another universe.
Trees: This uniquely sublime experience actually rewards stillness. Hit a pose, stand stationary for a short moment...suddenly realistic limbs, branches and leaves begin to emerge from your outstretched arms.
Other titles include: Virtual Water, Teapot Symphony, SnowMo Sapiens, Jelly Fish, Electric Kool Aid and more. Visit often as these titles are unvailed throughout the year.
