3D dynamic simulation technology and facility developer Brogent Technologies expects revenues from the US market to take up 30-40% of 2019 consolidated revenues, much higher than 10% in 2018, according to company president and CEO CH Ouyang.
Brogent set up an i-Ride flying theater in Minnesota - the first of its kind in the US market- in 2016 and another in Florida in 2019, Ouyang said. Brogent will add another six i-Ride flying theaters in New York City, Hawaii, California, Texas and other states to a total of eight ones in the US by year-end 2019, Ouyang noted.
Discover America, a Brogent-produced 3D dynamic simulation film featuring scenic places in the US including the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls as well as exciting sports, is presented and will be presented at these flying theaters, Ouyang indicated, adding Brogent expects the eight theaters to annually attract 5-6 million users.
Discover America is presented at an i-Ride flying theater established at Breeze Nanshan, a shopping mall in downtown Taipei, during July 1-31, the first time for the film to be presented outside the US, Ouyang indicated.
Over 60 i-Ride flying theaters are in operation or under establishment globally, and the number is expected to increase to 100 in 2023, Ouyang said, adding for Brogent, China is the largest market currently, accounting for about 40% of its revenues.
