Guests will be able to enter a "game pod," wearing a custom-made "Rapture" HMD (head mounted display) and vest, to provide 3-D visuals, sound, tactile response (called "haptic feedback") and location tracking. The facilities will be equipped to simulate changes in elevation, vibrations, heat and cold sensations, moisture, and simulated liquids and smells.

The simulations will range from fantasy forests to alien planets, the company said. Co-op and multiplayer options will be available, and the gameplay will be family-friendly.

If I ever make it to Utah I'll probably check it out. Looks cool.

as well as Time.

six to eight people can play together on a 60’-by-60’ stage.

The beta test for the first Void Entertainment Center (VEC) will open in Pleasant Grove, Utah next summer. Founder and CEO Ken Bretschneider hopes this 65,000 square foot high-end destination will become “the IMAX of VR experiences.

Some premium content, including Hollywood-licensed VR experiences, will cost more, just as a VEC in New York’s Times Square might charge more than a more rural location.

Think CBS licensed Star Trek in 2018...
