Continuing to update about my Trinity Weekend with Denise and Melissa. Next up is the Sony Wonder Technology Lab! It was super awesome and located at 56th and Madison. Unfortunately, we were ill-informed to closing time. The website said normal closing time was 8pm, but for some reason this day it was 5pm; we had arrived at 4:15. We had to pretty much take it at a run. It was super fun, though!
This isn't it. This is Trump Tower. We thought that was awesome.
Ok, so once inside, you're handed a little card and have to take a picture of yourself. As you explore all the funs of virtual reality, your "identity" transforms and new avenues are opened for you!
There's Denise.
One of the fun games was to program and control your own robot! This one's Melissa!
Where's Allison?
There she is!
Then you chose an animated character and get to change their body position and facial expression to match some kind of event.
There were lights on the floor that followed your footsteps, and when you got close enough to someone else's light, they merged! But Denise used the flash, so the lights didn't show up.
For some reason that made me really mad. Melissa just wanted to pick her nose.
Melissa cheering me on as I race an animated car that I created!
This was the coolest part of the whole thing! There was a screen with the image of falling colored beans. But when you stood at a certain spot, you could interact with the falling beans! See how they fell around me as if they were really falling on my head?!
Melissa wanted to make it look like she was eating them. I helped by pushing the beans in her direction.
haha.
At the end we got to print out our own personalized certificates. :)
Then we had to map out our next route, which was downtown to Lombardi's original pizzaria and the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy!
There was a Hello Kitty sculpture along the way. haha.
Well that's all for now. Next up, Lombardi's and the San Gennaro Festival which all it's amazing delicious goodness!!!!
