Bournemouth is now home to one of the biggest VR centres in Europe

Centre VR has launched one of the biggest virtual reality arcades in the heart of Bournemouth. It is located on the first floor of the Richmond Gardens shopping centre.

The centre has industry-leading equipment, with a part of it being specially imported from the United States of America. The site has 30 virtual reality stations, where visitors can enjoy and play over two hundred different games. People can also play driving or flying simulators on the special gaming stations. The most popular game in the centre is currently Tower Tag. Tower Tag is a player vs player arcade shooter, where you can play against or with your friends to be the last player or team standing. It is an extremely popular game as it is physically engaging.

Louiisa, who is a supervisor at the centre commented:

“We do have a lot of demand in the area. We host a lot of parties, ranging from children birthdays to corporate parties. Many schools decide to bring students here as this is indeed an unique experience”

To better understand just how unique virtual reality is, I was given the opportunity to quite literally dive into its depths. With the virtual reality experience ‘Into the blue’ I was taken to the bottom of the ocean on a ship wreckage. From there I could observe the stunning beauty of the ocean floor and all of its marine inhabitants. The experience was so realistic that once a gigantic whale appeared I was shaken, this was a truly breath-taking look into the world of virtual reality.

 





About IvelinRashkov

I'm an aspiring Multimedia Journalism student, I come from a rather computing and economics related background as I studied those subjects in high school. Although my studies had nothing to do with writing, I somehow became passionate about it. To say that writing is a passion of mine would do it no justice. Writing became so much more than a passion, it became my way to leave a mark, make a difference and be remembered. I find all types of journalism interesting and remarkable but for me personally, I prefer entertainment journalism. One thing I also really enjoy writing about are philosophical topics that give you the opportunity to share your opinion and really immerse in the depts of the topic. I recently wrote an article for Nerve Magazine on the topic: "Creating a home away from home".
