The firm is responsible for concept and master plans for complete destination resorts, redevelopment areas, and for mixed-use retail and entertainment facilities. Previous projects include creating TV productions and motion pictures, original properties for animation and more.

Virtual Reality

The L.I.V.E. Centre

Announced in June 2015[6] , The Landmark Interactive Virtual Experience (L.I.V.E. Centre) is a virtual reality and augmented reality concept that will be created in a Chinese city in the summer of 2017.[7] This first 200,000 square foot installation will feature traditional theme park attractions, such as an interactive museum, virtual zoo, aquarium, live theatre, 4D theatre, and art gallery, with 30% of its experiences expected to contain virtual reality content.[8]

Pavilion Of Me™

In October 2015, Landmark announced the company’s concept of the Pavilion Of Me™(P.O.M), a daily-use in-home entertainment portal that reimagines everyday activities such as checking social media, online shopping, watching film and TV content, video chat, and playing video games into virtual reality experiences.[9]

Virtual World’s Fair

In conjunction with the Pavilion of Me™, the concept for the "Virtual World's Fair™," was also announced. Virtual World’s Fair™ is a virtual reality experience that will include real-time social interaction, entertainment, education, and shopping, just like a traditional world's fair, but designed to be used in-home rather than as a real-world travel destination.[10]
