Cinemo and SmashLabs

The integrated solution combines SmashLabs’ music-based games with Cinemo’s scalable software, synchronizing lighting, haptics, audio, and even climate elements with gameplay to create an immersive, multi-sensory experience. Optimized for low-latency performance across vehicle displays and audio systems, it enables interactive entertainment during charging stops and for passengers while driving.

The first game available from SmashLabs via Cinemo’s in-car immersion is Smashworld: Beat Explorers, a rhythm-based game where player interactions are directly synchronized with music, enhanced by immersive Dolby Atmos^® audio when supported by the vehicle. Through collaboration with Sony Music Publishing and Extreme Music (Sony Group), passengers can download new song packs for Smashworld: Beat Explorers at any time.

“OEMs are racing to turn the cabin into a standout experience. Together with SmashLabs, we’re proving that connected entertainment can captivate passengers, strengthen differentiation, and become a seamless part of the vehicle ecosystem,” says Charly Lippoth, Director Partnerships at Cinemo.

“Bringing our games into the vehicle creates entirely new opportunities to engage passengers in ways that were not possible before,” added Niccolò Cappon, President & CEO at SmashLabs. “What makes this especially exciting is that we can now create experiences in the car that simply don’t exist at home: immersive, social, and perfectly integrated into the journey itself. It is a pleasure to work with Cinemo on this truly transformative gaming experience.”
