Are you and your friends up for a tech-tacular weekend?
If you answered yes, then get your crew together and lock in your tickets to the coolest event in town this Ballarat Winter Festival.
Explore the evolution of the arcade – from retro gaming to the new world of immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality – during the City of Ballarat’s inaugural Winteractive Arcade.
For those who enjoy getting creative, you have the chance to use art and technology to experience something uniquely Ballarat over two weekend this winter.
The City of Ballarat’s Events Team has joined forces with the team behind the virtual reality drone racing game, Drone Legion, to give gamers the chance to play the locally-developed game first-hand.
This aligns with the Ballarat Events Strategy goal of developing new experiences hand-in-hand with local businesses to develop a uniquely Ballarat flavour.
You will also have the opportunity to see artist demonstrations using Tilt Brush – a Google application that allows you to paint in 3D with virtual reality.
We’re also bringing in a giant game of multiplayer Snake, old-school arcade machines and augmented reality technology for visitors to immerse themselves in.
So, whether you’re a fan of gaming and new technologies, or you’re simply looking for a fun day out with your friends or family, then the Winteractive Arcade could be the answer you’re looking for.
This event is presented by the City of Ballarat and supports the Creative City Strategy by tapping into the unique characteristics and strengths of our local creatives. It also goes to the core of the Ballarat Events Strategy.
