Virtual Reality in This Tokyo Amusement Park Is a Win-Win for Thrill-Seekers
Starting next month, virtual reality enthusiasts can enjoy Sega Live Creation’s new VR experience, dubbed Project I Can. In this warehouse-size space at the Tokyo Joypolis—an amusement park that features an indoor roller coaster, 3-D movies, and a haunted house, among other attractions—gamers wear Free-Roam Virtual Reality (FRVR) gear while playing multiuser games. Earlier this month, Sensics, a US-based VR developer, announced that it had partnered with Zero Latency, a wireless VR developer, to produce this new amusement park attraction. “It creates a very immersive, believable experience,” says Yuval Boger, CEO of Sensics and cofounder of OSVR. “Imagine holding a stick in your hand and seeing it as a torch in the game. Waving your hand in a dark virtual room lights up different parts of the room.” This experience is supposed to be completely different from strapping on a VR system at home.
