I tried hyper realistic VR gaming (zombie edition)

The fans help with orientation and motion sickness in vr bc it's always blowing the same direction

[GriffinLisuk]

The fans give your body a point of reference to know which direction you’re facing in the real world. Even if it’s subconsciously

The fans help with motion sickness. I do this when playing to keep from getting as sick. It also helps with positioning yourself in your play space which also helps with motion sickness.

Interesting to read about the fans! I always turned mine on too when playing but didn't realize why I did. Seems I subconsciously noticed how it helped me orient myself. I just thought it made Blade and Sorcery feel more realistic -- which I guess is part of it after all! Crazy how well our brains can process multiple things, especially when having a point of reference like this.

"alright, this will be $120 each for 30mins"

The fans are to help with orientation while in VR as well as motion sickness because they are all blowing in one direction, which gives you a sense of where you are in the real world.

Yeah I did this exact thing in L.A for part of my bday. Fun experience but, its short lived, graphics suck (like a 3D ps2 game), and they get mad if you get creative and put the gun between ur legs, jerk ur gun off like its a pen15, and dry hump fire till the zombies drop.

All in all, make sure there's someone who isnt a Karen watching you play

[Bugsinmystomach]

Fans help with motion sickness and orientation. So if you have a VR headset and tend to get motionsick, just set up a fan in your play area! :)

I went to Sandbox VR earlier this year in San Francisco. I loved it.

The fans are there to keep the whole place cool and help reduce motion sickness

[TheGnarpyGnarp]

The fans help you survive when the Headset explodes, just like my PC…

[hakemz.]

Imagine the rats part, tha floor actually spawns a squishy mouse when you stomp as part of the experience. 😳

[Amberisfalling]

the fans are to show you which way youre looking and ground you in reality so you dont get motion sick

[AdobeSuite]

If you play amber skies they use the fans as part of the experience. There's a giant aircraft or something iirc and the fans kick on making you feel like the aircraft is blowing you back

[nexus_keeper]

The fans are for motion sickness like people were saying, but it would be so incredibly hot without them too. I was sweating like crazy with them.

[Scramify]

Funny story, me and my brother went to the same place and we played the exact same game with the exact same setup.

*Futuristic Lobby looks like a normal self check-in stand at a random office in a Dollar Tree shopping center.*

[Boinker]

I did this too. It was crazy. I was freaking out haha

[FrostyGT..]

You shoulda rolled like a dark souls character

I don't know if i've been to the same place, but it was 2 years ago or maybe 3 that a group of friends and i went to try that. We also had a zombie game (did not look the same), the rooms looked like that and the equipment looked like that. I have to believe it was the same company.

When i tell you the lag was so bad they changed our battery packs, restarted the system, and then said there was nothing more they could do, it did really ruin the experience.

By the end of it, we were taking turns dying because the game didn't register our movements in real time and i was almost robotically moving the "gun" in my hands to a point, counting to 2, then firing, then after another second would move again. We collectively decided we'd give the software and hardware another half decade at least before trying again

Other peiple were doing something like a haunted house thing and we could hear them screaming for real, but most of what we were saying to each other was colored from frustration rather than excitement or fear.

I went to the same place I tried the squid games one it was epic
