Darkvalley designs and develops immersive, interactive technical systems for cultural venues, attractions and permanent experiences.
From show control to networked audiovisual, by way of automation and visitor flow,
Darkvalley orchestrates what happens backstage to bring the experience to life.
Design and programming of control systems to synchronize lighting, sound, video, machinery and animatronics. Redundant architecture, deterministic sequencers.
Dante / AES67 audio infrastructure, multi-zone audio distribution, integration of lighting consoles and media servers. All of it on a dedicated IT network.
NFC, RFID, presence sensors, conditional pathways. Interaction that serves a purpose, never a gimmick. Connected individual lockers, invisible integration.
Technical architecture, prototyping, hardware selection, optical special effects, operational support. When off-the-shelf isn't enough, we build the bespoke tool.
Darkvalley supports every technical stage, from brief to maintenance,
with no reliance on an expert technician on site.
A world first designed for UrbanSoccer: Urban Xperience reinvents 5-a-side football (and up to 7!) as a 90-minute immersive experience, from the locker room to the podium. Personalisation, entrance tunnel, a match in a virtual stadium, Sports Bar and replays — every key play becomes a show.
On the touch kiosks, each player picks their team name, kit, number and anthem; their photo becomes an animated player card. Then the immersive corridor and the giant-screen introduction, 2 × 30 minutes of play in a 35,000-seat stadium, and finally the post-match highlights and interviews at the Sports Bar.
A 90-minute experience — from the locker room to the podium.
5-a-side football like you've never felt it. Step into the atmosphere of the big games: a personalised 90-minute experience, a world first, where every match is unique — in a 35,000-seat virtual stadium just for your team.
