Introduction
Saltcake Media Lab is Saltcake’s in-house research team, experimenting with new technologies and interactions to explore “the essential value of happy experiences.” It builds and exhibits new media technologies such as VR and AR, holograms and motion recognition, and carries the insights gained into the experience design of client projects.

Users sit in the simulator seat and experience paragliding. To complete the simulation and land safely, they must follow the route and pass through every target. To make it more realistic, a fan linked to the simulator lets users feel the wind with every turn.


Exhibited at the Saltcake booth at the 2015 Seoul Design Festival, held at COEX from December 2 to 6, 2015.
