VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2022 / AMPD Ventures Inc. ("AMPD" or the "Company"), (CSE:AMPD);(OTCQB:AMPDF);(FRA:2Q0) subsidiary Departure Lounge Inc., a Vancouver, BC-based company offering a range of Metaverse-related technologies and creative services ("Departure Lounge") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a representation and reseller agreement with ARwall, a Los Angeles-based provider of LED wall virtual production and immersive XR technologies and software ("ARwall").

Announcement Highlights

  • ARwall is a mixed reality and augmented reality company offering services in motion picture virtual production effects, interactive experiences, and location-based amusements.
  • Departure Lounge will act as ARwall's representative and reseller in Canada, selling and supporting ARwall's platform and software to customers across Canada.

ARwall is a Los Angeles-based XR technology company shaking up the virtual and real time production industries for both linear and interactive applications. Its diverse multi-disciplinary team comes from TV, VFX, design, mobile, games, and advertising and offers software, consulting and turnkey solutions for creators and filmmakers. During the pandemic, ARwall gained acclaim for launching a prosumer virtual production software solution, plugins, and complete kit for filmmakers, called ARFX Home Studio, the first such offering on the market.

ARwall's ARFX software combines patented award-winning spatial imaging tech, XR SYNC, with the most cutting-edge virtual production systems in the world to deliver turnkey solutions for soundstages, production companies, and virtual production studios. The platform is based around the company's ARFX Pro software and hardware solution for LED/projection XR "in-camera effects" backdrops, which includes AR overlay and green screen compositing with camera and lens tracking; a complete virtual production solution. All ARwall software includes the company's patented XR SYNC: one-click calibration for in-camera effects that have been half a decade in the making. The ARwall Interactive solution combines ARwall's award-winning tech with touch-free and headset-free mixed reality graphics to deliver turnkey solutions for mass audiences in venues, immersive kiosks, interactive XR walls, and more.

"I knew we wanted to add LED-wall-based accessible virtual production capabilities to the volumetric and motion capture technologies we already have onsite at Departure Lounge HQ in Vancouver," said James Hursthouse, CEO and founder of Departure Lounge. "We feel fortunate to have begun working with CEO Rene and the team at ARwall as we share a vision around the need for more accessible, modern virtual production technologies."

"We are exceptionally pleased to be able to add Departure Lounge to our roster of both customers and representatives," said Rene Amador, CEO and co-founder of ARwall. "We look forward to ARwall solutions being adopted widely in Canada, both for movie production and in the interactive wall space as well. ARwall is here to create the easiest way to join this XR revolution in filmmaking internationally."

Departure Lounge recently announced it would be a keystone partner in plans for a Metaverse Innovation Centre ("MIC") as part of an education collaboration agreement with Vancouver's Centre for Digital Media. Training initiatives and collaborative projects being planned as part of the MIC will also have access to the ARwall LED wall and associated technology and software.
