Virtual Reality Cinema is (kind of) here

11142-f867bce416237880f2291affce3ebc92The Virtual Reality Cinema, which is now open in Amsterdam, will be the world's first permanent VR cinema. If such a thing can really exist. The set up will involve a space for up to 50 people to sit on swivel chairs, wearing Samsung Gear VR headsets and Sennheiser HD 201 headphones.

Tickets cost €12.50 and get visitors 35 minutes of VR content, though we're not sure what the initial selection will be or how often that will change. Tickets are now available on the site for half an hour slots from 3pm to 11pm and can be booked until the end of March.

In theory, spaces such as this can be used to test new VR work and preview animated shorts, interactive TV series and more before they are made available - free or paid for - via a VR platform.
