What to expect

You'll be fitted with motion sensors before entering a dedicated VR space. Once inside, you're free to walk, reach, and interact naturally—the system responds to your actual movements, not button presses. Haptic vests and controllers deliver physical feedback when you touch objects or experience events in the virtual world. Expect to feel grounded and present rather than disconnected from what's happening on screen. The 40 minutes flies; you'll exit with a video file capturing your session. Staff will brief you on safety before you start. The experience is intense but not claustrophobic—you're in a open studio with trained operators monitoring throughout.
