A comparable gaming hall opened last year in Taiwan. At Viveland Taiwan visitors can enjoy different Virtual Reality (VR) games at over 330 square meters. Are these VR Centres going to become the arcade halls of the future?<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>VR Centres<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the past, arcade rooms where fully equipped with pacman- and pinball games but currently we see more VR (virtual reality) games in these rooms. This technology already exist quite long but is still quite unknown amongst gamers. Reason: decent VR-glasses cost already over $ 1,000, there is not much content and you need quite some space if you want use these glasses at home. VR centers allows you to experience Virtual Reality games without having these problems.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IMAX<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/imaxvr\/\" target=\"_blank\">IMAX VR<\/a> Centre in Los Angeles is not going to be the only one, in the next year a minimum of six IMAX VR Centres will be opened at different locations around the world. IMAX is not only focusing on games, but also on movies. Visitors can meet different techniques, varying from wearing VR-glasses to wearing a trembling vest to make a game look more real.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Viveland<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/tw\/viveland\/\" target=\"_blank\">Viveland<\/a> is a project by HTC. With their HTC Vive, HTC launched their VR-glasses to the market. The difference between IMAX and Viveland is that Viveland is only focusing on games. The interior is less futuristic and is devided in four themes that are related to games. It\u2019s still unknown if Viveland will expand to Europe.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We still doubt if these VR centres are going to become the new arcade rooms.
