‘Jurassic World’ Virtual Reality Experience to Debut at Dave & Buster’s
Tied to the June 22 release of Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the VR experience will be available starting June 14 at all 114 Dave & Buster's locations in the U.S. and Canada. Each site will have at least one motion simulator that seats up to four players in the Jurassic World experience, which uses the HTC Vive VR headsets and hand controllers.
Dave & Buster's also funded the development of the VR project, created by VRC, which was co-foundered by chief creative officer and two-time Academy Award winner Robert Stromberg and CEO Guy Primus.
VRC licensed the brand from Universal; the production budget was in the "low seven figures," according to VRC.
VRC creative director James Lima wrote and directed the experience. “We wanted to take people to Isla Nublar and visit Jurassic World, and here is where the power of VR presents its potential as a medium that is an extension of the film," Lima said.
