Company

Reality Arcade (MIT Play Labs '17) is creating the next generation of attractions for arcades and entertainment centers using virtual reality. We have done over 2 years of experimentation and testing in the location-based entertainment space with 2 brick and mortar locations and over 10,000 paying customers. During that time we’ve perfected our design for a turnkey VR attraction, the Reality Arcade.

Product

The Reality Arcade attraction has been iterated upon over years to become, pound for pound, one of the most valuable location-based VR attractions in its nascent market. Designed as the ultimate platform for VR arcade shooter experiences, the Reality Arcade will include high-end haptic recoil peripherals, a green-screen environment optimized for mixed reality video streaming, and a range of asymmetrical multiplayer features.

Our games for this platform will all be within or tangent to the VR shooter category, with an emphasis on lot’s of stylish physical movement and social/cooperative strategies between players to mutually support the capabilities of the physical attraction. More information concerning the game itself and development status will be provided with qualified candidates.
