The arcade has advanced since its humble beginnings. New technological advances have changed the way the gaming community interacts with worlds old and familiar. The advent of VR allows users to become a part of the story/world/game they’re playing.
Games test endurance and bravery
Vault-Tec Virtual Arena is a first of its kind gaming center in the city of Tampa and the state of Florida. The space for VR gaming officially opened its doors in May of this year. Shadow Ops, a zombie first-person shooter, and Omni Arena, a battle against wave after wave robots, offer fully immersive gaming experiences with walking ability.
