About Pulseworks
Pulseworks is an American attraction design, engineering and digital production company specializing in motion simulation and immersive entertainment. Founded in 1998 and based in the Atlanta metropolitan area, it develops physical simulators alongside the digital experiences they present. Its work combines mechanical and electronic systems, software development, CGI animation and attraction operations for museums, science centers, aquariums and entertainment destinations.
The company provides an integrated route from attraction concept to installation and ongoing operation. Its engineering and manufacturing capabilities cover motion platforms, capsule theaters and interactive simulators, while its digital production team creates ridefilms, educational animations, 360-degree virtual reality experiences and interactive software. This combination supports both custom attractions and deployments built around its established simulator platforms.
Experiences and applications
Pulseworks creates experiences that range from aerial tours and historical spaceflight simulations to marine conservation adventures and interactive flight attractions. Its work includes Virtual Rush: Chicago at Navy Pier, Drop in the Ocean at the Georgia Aquarium and Apollo 11 & Beyond VR. These projects use motion and virtual environments to present educational subjects and entertainment experiences in a physical attraction setting.
Its simulator deployments also serve aviation and space institutions, including Smithsonian museums, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center and The Museum of Flight. Beyond permanent installations, the company customizes mobile simulators for touring attractions, corporate outreach and educational campaigns. Its work for AstraZeneca included a mobile simulator experience supporting a national health awareness tour.
Partnership approach
Alongside equipment and content production, Pulseworks offers turnkey operational partnerships. Under its revenue-sharing model, the company can take responsibility for installation, maintenance, ticketing and operational oversight at host venues. This operating approach allows institutions to present simulator attractions through an ongoing partnership with the company. Host-venue installations form part of its attraction deployment network across North America.
