At Asia Amusement & Attractions Expo 2025, key trends highlight a shift in immersive technology investments amid global trade tensions. While VR remains present, its dominance has waned compared to previous years, with exhibitors like Movie Power and Oculeap showcasing scaled-up VR attractions and multiplayer experiences using PICO headsets. Notably, Chinese companies are pioneering mixed reality (MR) applications, exemplified by Anchi Amusement’s MR Karting and RaceParx’s MR Go-Kart platform, signaling a new frontier in interactive entertainment. The show also emphasized enhanced visual tech, such as LED displays replacing projection, and AI-driven photo capture, reflecting broader technological integration. However, trade uncertainties, including US-China tariff negotiations, are casting a shadow, affecting manufacturing and sales channels, especially in Western markets. Despite these challenges, Chinese manufacturers are exploring international partnerships and distributor models to sustain growth. The event underscores a global pivot towards more immersive, interactive, and technologically advanced attractions, even as geopolitical factors impact supply chains and market access.
