Valo Motion creates mixed-reality attractions and games that turn sports activities into immersive experiences. They have developed fully automated and interactive mixed-reality products like ValoArena, ValoJump, and  ValoClimb, which combine full-body movement with high-quality digital games to help people find the joy of movement. These attractions are popular at location-based entertainment venues such as family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, climbing gyms, hotels, resorts, and retail spaces. With ValoVision motion tracking technology, players see themselves inside the game while using their bodies as controllers to play and compete. There are more than 1500 Valo Motion attractions installed in over 75 countries that get more than 275,000 plays per day. The company is based in Helsinki, Finland.

Ability to harness quantum speed gains now within sight after researchers solve massive simulation problem in a heartbeat

The use of a quantum-inspired algorithm to calculate the unworkably vast potential properties of quantum materials is an early example of how quantum technology can be used to improve itself. The discovery could have future applications in dissipationless technology, for example to mitigate data centre heating.
