When planning something to do with your family or friends, there are usually too many things to pick from. A lot of the things you’re finding from your computer search can seem boring or repetitive, especially if you like to do something every weekend, but have you ever considered a virtual reality experience in London? It is likely that you’ve never come across this kind of experience in your area, or don’t have enough knowledge about it. For most people, VR exists on a gaming platform, but it can be much more than that.
What is it?
We experience life through our five senses, but the things we do every day can become mundane and often lead to boredom. There isn’t always much excitement in doing your weekly shop or a walk in the park, is there? When you think about it, all your senses are involved in each action you take every day, but such a repetitive lifestyle doesn’t allow you to enjoy the beauty. With VR, however, your five senses can experience something outside of your comfort zone. It will awaken your sense of adventure and allow you a new perspective on your everyday lifestyle. In most cases, the world can become your oyster once the glasses are on, and being able to experience fantastical words and the unknown is exactly what we, as humans, often need. During your experience, you’ll see, hear, and smell a plethora of things that aren’t real, but will feel as if they are.
Can I do this alone?
As long as you’re over the age of 17, you can absolutely experience these fantasy worlds alone. For those with family and friends, however, up to 5 of you can go through the experience together and share in the memories you’re making. If you have family members under the age of 17, they only need an adult to attend with them before they, too, can experience everything there is to offer.
What kind of worlds can I visit?
If you’ve ever played a video game, then you’re most likely acquainted with the kind of worlds that you can experience. Could you imagine, however, physically battling zombies, beating levels and walking long beams across cityscapes, without ever getting hurt? There are so many different games that have been fitted for the VR experience, completely depending on what you’re looking for. You can also experience demo and free-roam experiences, allowing you to get used to the PC you’re carrying on your back and the headsets you’ll be wearing. When you first get into a pool, you have to get used to the consistency and practising swimming, the same can be said for VR. During the demo and free-roam experiences, you can interact with whichever reality you’ve picked to explore before getting stuck in with a game or challenge.
Health and safety
As with all experiences and days out, it is important that you take care of yourself and loved ones. VR experiences will always have your safety in mind, but be sure not to take part if you’re feeling unwell or have some kind of physical ailment.
