HADO Overview
HADO is a sport that combines Augmented Reality (AR) technology through a head-mounted display and arm sensor in a physical skill-based competition. Three-person teams leverage their skills by firing energy balls and placing shields to accumulate points in an 80-second match. To date, we have expanded the HADO series to 70 locations in 36 countries from North and South America to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A total of more than 2.1 million people has played HADO.
HADO Arena will take strict measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
