A VR Arcade Free-Roam Area is a larger space in which you can walk around with several players at the same time. In a Free-Roam Area you generally play a VR game in which you can see your fellow players and work together. A Free-Roam Area can be divided in several ways. Depending on the game, the headset and the computer you want to use, you can choose the free-roam area.

A VR Arcade Free-Roam Area basically consists of the following parts:

• 3/4 * x Virtual reality headset (recommended: HTC Vive Pro or HP Reverb);
• 3/4 * x VR backpack computer (recommended: HP VR Backpack PC);
• 3/4 * x Watch TV screen (recommended: 50 inch);

In addition to this virtual reality hardware, you can of course also think of the necessary accessories, such as an extra computer or laptop to manage the software, covers to protect the controllers and masks for hygiene.

* In a Free-Roam Area you can choose to have 4 players play with a VR Backpack PC, or to have 3 players play completely wireless with the Vive Wireless Adapter (note: this is only possible with the HTC Vive Pro).

pay attention: the maximum space for a VR Arcade Free-Roam Area (without partitions) is: 10 x 10 meters. This has to do with the range of the base stations.

Why choose a VR Arcade Free-Roam Area?
