Gesellschaft, Technik

Introduction

This article aims to provide a professional and detailed introduction to various virtual reality (VR) attractions. We focus on entertainment-focused leisure offerings and the immersive experiences offered to visitors in these state-of-the-art facilities.

What is meant by a VR attraction?

A VR attraction is a facility where visitors can experience something in VR. In this article we will limit ourselves to leisure attractions that serve entertainment purposes.

Coastiality

The term “coastiality” is made up of “virtual reality” and “rollercoaster”. It describes rollercoasters that can be ridden with a VR headset. This results in a completely new experience. Well-known coastiality rides can be found at Europapark in Rust, for example. The “Eurosat”, one of the oldest roller coasters in the park, was given a Coastiality makeover for the release of the movie “Valerian - The City of a Thousand Planets”. With the help of the VR headset, visitors are transported into the world of the film and see a colorful science fiction world instead of the tracks and decorations.

VR Arcades

There are now VR arcades all over Germany. VR games and simulations in particular can be played there. One example of such an arcade is the “5 Stripes - Virtual Reality Lounge” in Stuttgart. In addition to well-known VR games that can be played here on a large, open area, “5 Stripes” also offers a “Full Motion Racing Simulator”. The “HoLo.Bar” in Hamburg also offers a similar program. In addition to VR games such as “Beat Saber”, virtual archery and deep-sea diving can also be experienced here. There are now VR arcades like this in every German state, promising a unique experience.

Escape Rooms

For escape room fans, the “Escape Adventures” in Frankfurt am Main could be just the thing. Just like in a normal escape room, puzzles have to be solved here, but equipped with a VR headset and two controllers. In the “Escape Adventures”, 2 to 4 players can tackle such a VR escape room together.

7th Space

The “7th Space” offers a wide variety of VR experiences at its locations in Oberhausen, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Langenfeld. From fall 2022, there will also be locations in Cologne and Aachen. The company is primarily promoting the “Free Walk”, in which you can move freely in a virtual environment. With a VR headset and two controllers, you can embark on an adventure that promises action. There are also VR escape rooms in “7th Space” that can be completed on site. There are also numerous mini-games of various genres that can be tried out here. Fans of the “Half-Life” game series will also get their money's worth at “7th Space”. The latest installment in the series, the VR title “Half-Life Alyx”, can be played here.

The Void

The VR arcade “The Void” opens its doors for the first time in Utah in 2017. The location combines virtual and actual reality. A virtual playing field is recreated in a hall and equipped with real objects such as walls and doors. Each physical object is then given a virtual counterpart. This makes the VR world more believable. Players have to solve puzzles or fight opponents with virtual weapons. The Void” is now available in numerous major cities in the USA and Europe, and there will soon be a similar hall in Germany.

Conclusion

Germany has also been offering various VR attractions for several years. Whether coastality, escape rooms or arcades; VR fans get their money's worth at almost every location. Anyone interested in games should try out a VR attraction.
