There are only 10 of its kind across the country and one of them will open in Cleveland on March 1.
CLEVELAND We've all seen or played video games at some point in our lives. But this is a totally new experience where you are truly part of the game. Welcome to Boss VR Arena, featuring "Zero Latency" technology.
"VR" stands for virtual reality, of course. But unlike conventional VR games, here you're allowed to free roam in an open space with up to eight people. And as the name suggests, there's zero latency, meaning no delay. Everyone is active in a real-time virtual world.
Boss Pro-Karting co-owner Brad Copley couldn't wait to bring this technology to Cleveland.
"We have strived to bring adrenaline-filled group activities to Northeast Ohio. The go karting and the ax throwing were our first two launches into Cleveland. And now, bringing this VR, its a whole different dynamic," Copley tells 3News.
Each player is essentially wearing a computer on their back. Then, you're outfitted with a VR gun, special goggles with an array of cameras, and a headset with microphones to communicate with other players as you complete missions.
"Its very safe," Copley adds. "It tells you when you get close to somebody else or get close to a wall. It keeps you confined to that game space and leads you thru some unbelievable experiences."
3News' Brandon Simmons tried Zero Latency for himself, attempting to complete a game of "Far Cry" with three others. Copley is right, it's something you have to experience for yourself.
"You tend to forget. Youre trying to step over rock or hide behind walls which in the game are all there. But in reality, its just a clear open space of concrete where you can walk wherever you want," Copley says.
Zero Latency Cleveland is only the 10th of its kind in the U.S. and will be opening to the public at Boss VR Arena on Brookpark Road on March 1. Copley is looking forward to visitors experiencing the thrills.
"When they get here, theyre going to be amazed at not only the graphics, but how accurate everything is," he says.
Boss VR Arena and everything else at Boss Pro Karting is gearing toward an older crowd. So you have to be 12 or older to participate. The VR Arena costs $45 for 45 minutes for each participant. Reservations can be made on BossVRArena.com.
