Zero Latency Introduces Compact VR Arenas
(eap) The Australian company Zero Latency VR, which develops and operates free-roam VR attractions, has recently introduced new, compact versions of its free-roam arena, which is now available in two more different size variants – 10 x 10 and 14 x 7 meters – for six players each. This allows the arenas to also be integrated into FECs, VR centres, amusement parks, arcades or resorts with small available space.
“Our experiences are mind-blowing, so it’s been important to make sure we capture that same monumental feeling, even in smaller spaces,” emphasizes Scott Vandonkelaar, CTO at Zero Latency. “We’ve done a lot of testing to ensure our adventures translate, and that they still feel excellent. Our team has ensured that our technology has remained adaptable and flexible to new environments, so that our customers get the same feeling of immersion, no matter the size of the venue.”
The first location to receive this new arena format is Cafe 35 Kings Billiards and Bar, a billiards hall and sports bar in Rochester, New York. “Having Zero Latency within our multi-attraction center in Rochester will be a game changer,” says Hakan Sayginer, Cafe 35 Kings Billiards and Bar owner. “Our customers love trying new, exciting experiences, and free-roam virtual reality is a key trend and evolution in the attractions industry that is impossible to ignore. The new 6-player sizing has allowed us to add Zero Latency to our list of attractions so that customers can experience the most immersive adventures available today.” ■
