VR arcades

Immersive gaming venues

VR arcades are commercial venues where customers pay to use virtual reality equipment and play VR games.

They offer access to high-end headsets and motion-tracking systems that would be expensive to own, along with physical space for room-scale experiences: We tried the zombie shooter at the VR arcade downtown.

The model echoes traditional video arcades but with immersive technology.
