Inside ‘Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire’, the Latest VR Attraction from The VOID

The VOID’s Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire is a “hyper reality” VR attraction that places you inside the Star Wars universe. It uses virtual reality headsets, haptic feedback vests, real props, environmental haptics, and physical space to immerse guests in the world of Star Wars. The experience is now open to the public at The Void’s locations at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL, Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, CA, and Westfield London Mall in London, UK. The experience is identical across all three locations.

Once everyone is ready to roll you sit down in the next room, headsets on, and you and your squad are launched in a drop ship towards the volcanic planet of Mustafar.

Secrets of the Empire could have been a truly amazing and immersive experience if not for the poor positional tracking which, combined with the small, clunky spaces for four players, made it just alright.
