Background of Membership

In 2026, our company exhibited at overseas exhibitions such as CES (Las Vegas), Singapore Airshow (Singapore), and Oceanology International (London), and through the exhibition and presentation of the water drone "ARIVIA," we have been verifying its market potential.

Through these activities, high interest and expectations have been expressed, particularly in the tourism and resort sectors, regarding the potential for new entertainment utilizing water surfaces.

Given this background, we decided to join IAAPA with the aim of strengthening our connections with the theme park and attractions industry and accelerating global market networking and business development.

What is the water drone "ARIVIA"?

ARIVIA is a water drone equipped with fountains, LEDs, and autonomous navigation functions.

As a buoy-shaped autonomous control device, it can perform position control and演出 control while moving on the water surface. The unit is equipped with LEDs, controllable fountains, GPS, control technology, and sound reproduction functions.

By linking multiple units, it can achieve dynamic performances that integrate movement, light, and water, providing a synchronized and immersive experience.

ARIVIA is expected to be utilized as new entertainment that leverages waterfront spaces, such as night content and event productions at hotels, resorts, and tourist destinations.

It transforms various water areas such as urban waterfronts, tourist spots, resort facilities, pools, and port areas into "performance spaces," offering new experiential value to visitors.
