BUBBLE tubes supplied by Knaresborough-based Apollo Creative have been installed in the new £9 million York Sport Village.
The tubes, often supplies the tubes to sensory rooms and visitor attractions, but designers The Ideas Group incorporated them into cycling area of the village’s sport and fitness centre after using Apollo Creative’s interactive water features in retail environments and exhibitions around the UK.
Nick Townend, managing director of the Ideas Group, said the floor-to-ceiling bubble tubes are hoped to give users of the cycling machines something inspiring to look at as they try to emulate the feats of Britain’s world-beating cycling greats.
He said: “We will be developing the idea further by connecting them to technology which will reward users of the cycling machines by changing the bubbles’ behaviour to reflect their level of effort,” he said.
