VR Equipment Explained: The VR Gaming Gear at meetspaceVR

Virtual reality gaming has taken the world of gaming into a whole new realm, where the player’s body has become the controller and the gaming world, his reality. 

All of this has only been made possible by the advancement of gaming technology and the introduction of virtual reality gaming gear. 

When it comes to virtual reality gaming, one of the most important aspects that help create a seamless and exciting VR experience, is the gaming gear. 

At MeetspaceVR, we use the most advanced and high-quality equipment available, to guarantee you an unforgettable, free-roam experience. 

However, most people aren’t aware of the gaming gear used in virtual reality games or how it works. In this blog, we’ll tell you all about our exceptional VR gaming gear, so that you’ll know what you’re in for on your next VR adventure. 

Virtual Reality Gaming Gear

The gaming gear in any kind of game or technology is absolutely essential. However, when we talk about virtual reality gaming, the gaming gear is what actually creates the experience entirely. 

Virtual reality offers a number of gaming experiences, such as free-roam, escape rooms, VR arcades and so many more. To have the most immersive experience with the best VR games, you’ll need to be prepared with the best gaming gear. 

Therefore, a perfect set of gaming accessories, including the latest VR headsets, headphones and controllers, are required to have a marvellous VR experience. 

Let us explore the VR equipment that goes into a free roam session, piece by piece.

VR Headsets

The VR headset is one of the most crucial parts of the VR gaming experience. Also called the head-mounted display, the VR headset is what displays the game in front of your eyes with incredible detail.

VR headsets present a different image for each eye in order to create the illusion of reality for the user. 

With incredible resolution and enhanced graphic details, our VR headsets deliver an experience that will leave you questioning reality and fiction. 

Headphones

When you’re part of a free roam VR gaming experience, clear communication between players is very important and that’s exactly what the headphones enable.

That’s not all though, with exceptional surround sound mixing the headphones, play sounds slightly different in each ear, creating an illusion of absolute reality for the mind.

With high-quality microphones and an incredibly realistic speaker system, the VR headphones are guaranteed to give you the experience of a lifetime. 

Controllers

 

The controllers in VR gaming gear are dependent on the kind of VR experience you are having. In this instance, we are going to talk about the free-roam VR experience. 

Controllers in a free-roam VR experience are simply the weapons you use in the game. They are usually a custom-made, gun-like controller which you can use to shoot at your enemies and targets.

Moreover, when it comes to movements, the headset and your own body act as controllers and help you run, jump and walk around the virtual world of the gaming experience. 

No Wires: Untethered Free Roam

Finally, the part that makes a free-roam experience feel so different from VR at home: there are no cables. Zero Latency VR is warehouse scale, untethered virtual reality, so nothing ties you to a console or a PC.

You can run, crouch, shoot and hide across the warehouse-size gaming arena with up to 8 players in the same game.

Your body becomes the controller and your mind believes it is all real, which is the whole point of the gear.

Do You Need Your Own VR Equipment?

No. At meetspaceVR all the VR equipment is ready for you, and our team runs a safety briefing and suits everyone up before each session. A few practical points from our FAQ:

• Glasses can be worn in all our experiences, although contact lenses are more comfortable under the headset.
• Headsets can be adjusted to fit over a religious head covering, up to a point, so you are welcome to come in and try the equipment before your booking.
• Wear light, comfortable clothing and shoes and keep make-up to a minimum, as it can smear on the lenses. Hats cannot be worn during the experience.
• Arrive 15 minutes early to get a head start on check-in, the safety briefing and suit-up.
