The Void VR Theme Park ?!

[Onur_Tyran]

 

Shut up and take our money.

A new amusement park in Utah called The Void promises to put you inside a video game, with technology that allows you to interact with virtual worlds in physical environments.

The company released its first teaser this week, and it looks pretty impressive.

Visitors to their Virtual Entertainment Centres (VECs) will wear a specialized Rapture head mounted display, a vest with haptic feedback mechanisms that responds to your environment and gloves that allow you to interact with virtual objects like buttons or weapons.

Each gaming “pod” lets you to sense things like elevation changes, air pressure, temperature, moisture and smell to make it feel as if you are really there.

“At THE VOID you will walk into new dimensions and experience worlds without limits,” the site claims. “From fighting intergalactic wars on alien planets, to casting spells in the darkest of dungeons, THE VOID presents the Future of Entertainment.”

The games also offer a co-op mode so you can experience the various worlds with other people.

While it all sounds cool, you’ll have to wait until it actually opens in early 2016 to know how a dragon smells up close.

 

Here is their youtube teaser. 

 

To me this teaser (like all teasers) seems impossible to achieve with current technology. But even the dream of this just makes me excited.

What do you guys think about this ? Is this possible ? What are the possibilities ? Will you visit it if they achieve something enjoyable ? ( Why am I even asking ofcourse you will )

Neo: I thought it wasn't real

Morpheus: Your mind makes it real

Neo: If you're killed in the matrix, you die here?

Morpheus: The body cannot live without the mind

I bet they have to employ a few people to be able to clean up all of puke from the visitors, who get motion sickness

When I read "pod" I assumed they were talking about an actual pod you sit/lie in that changes pressure and temperature as you're in it...my impressions were smashed when I watche dthe video and realised the 'pod' is the map...if only it was an actual pod then I'd buy it as soon as still cool though, wish it was in the UK

I doubt there'd any people who get motion sickness if everything is fully tracked/synced.

Hopefully this won't be too expensive.

It looks very cool, but it's just a CG teaser, I want to see the real thing working.

VR won't become a thing they said... AMD is wasting time investing into VR they said...

 

I would go to one of these places every day if the submersion is close to what it looks like in the video.

[Thony]

My 1st thought: Parkour !

My 2nd thought: if I get in, I will never leave
