Location-based entertainment (LBE) might not be doing great at the moment due to continual lockdowns but that doesn’t mean to say companies have given up. In fact they’re coming up with new ways to expand the industry. The latest to be announced is UNCONTAINED VR, an innovative idea from Immersive Tech due to launch this year.
Immersive Tech’s UNCONTAINED has been designed to meet demand from its Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) clients for COVID-safe outdoor attractions. A free-roam VR arcade built into a shipping container, the setup accommodates up to six players whilst providing environmental haptic feedback via blasts of heat and cold, motion floors, and physical object interactions.
