Vusr Stage — motion-platform VR with D-BOX

Location-based VR on D-BOX motion platforms — demoed at IAAPA Expo 2018 running four-player Eagle Flight multiplayer, controlled from a tablet.

We took the Vusr Venue technology and partnered with D-BOX — the motion-platform company behind cinema motion seats — to drive their chairs in sync with VR gameplay. The result, Vusr Stage, was a location-based VR attraction platform.

In November 2018 we demoed it at IAAPA Expo in Orlando, the amusement industry's main trade show, running Ubisoft's Eagle Flight in a four-player multiplayer match — with a tablet portal showing that the whole attraction could be operated by one person.
