・Overview of HADO
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.
Today, meleap inc. has expanded the HADO series to 65 locations in 26 countries from North and South America to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A total of more than 1.6 million people have experienced the HADO.
