According to Mann, “The IST is a garden pavilion [or outdoor sports terrace] with embedded, nearly invisible, technology, representing the realisation of the futuristic dream of seamless technology integrated into daily life.”
Mann says. “We are on the cusp of a world where the virtual can enhance the everyday.” The Sports Terrace provides an immersive 3 dimensional experience that provides the perfect fusion between the virtual and the real, all thanks to latest glass technology and integrated virtual gaming technology.
Covered glass boards upheld by innovative hardware equipment, with minimal joints and massive size, are utilized to empower greatest transparency. They also work as sliding or rotating doorways, enabling the ambiance to be open to the outside or to be completely encased.Mann clarifies that the utilization of operable glass, “breaks down the barriers between inside and out by bringing technology outdoors”.
Mann continues, “the IST layers the virtual world over the real world… It enables users to keep the positive aspects of playing outside with the digital advantages of an enhanced virtual environment… The switchable glass eliminates the need to choose between the virtual and the real; instead, users can layer the two. This also creates the possibility for interaction across the glass between the audience and the players.”
