And as you probably know, it\u2019s highly used in the gaming industry nowadays. Naturally, somebody thought about integrating it into arcades, giving them a completely new twist. And people totally loved the idea!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today we\u2019re talking about how virtual reality is used in arcades and how it can transform them into a <\/span><b>future-proof business<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But that\u2019s not all, since we\u2019re also going to look at some of the <\/span><b>coolest locations of the moment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Where you can enjoy a fully immersive VR experience, that is!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s been in arcades<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a while<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me explain: technically speaking, virtual reality is used in arcades for years. Specifically, a lot of the equipments over there are relying on this concept. After all, a lot of the games you used to love and play put you in a virtual world, where you need to control an avatar. But it wasn\u2019t exactly the type of interaction we\u2019re used with nowadays\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90s kids (and not only) will definitely remember one VR-like arcade game: Vortek&#8217;s Beach Head 2000. With its big yellow helmet, allowing you to see enemies and shoot them in a virtual environment. No?! Maybe this can help you:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cTp8vtDVWMk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So yes, to a certain extent, virtual reality was already there a few years ago, but people had no idea about what was coming next!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As headsets started gaining popularity &#8211; and we\u2019re looking at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/product\/google_cardboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s first Cardboard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here &#8211; more and more apps were being launched. People learned about virtual reality and die-hard arcade fans started wondering if it would be possible to <\/span><b>incorporate newer technologies in their favorite places<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opportunity is absolutely huge!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side, some business owners didn\u2019t wonder that much and actually did something in this direction! Yes, folks, <\/span><b>playing VR arcade games at a 2017 level is now possible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study conducted by <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandviewresearch.com\/press-release\/global-virtual-reality-vr-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grand View Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the whole VR gaming industry could reach $45.09 billion in revenue by 2025. Considering this, there\u2019s no surprise that besides regular people who own an arcade and want to bring it to 2017 level, top-notch companies also invest in this!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in October 2016, HTC began the rollout of the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arcade.viveport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viveport Arcade<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d program, granting arcades access to even thousands of VR titles for great rates, thus encouraging the adoption of virtual reality in such places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9936 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/viverport-arcade-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Viveport Arcade\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/viverport-arcade.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/viverport-arcade-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/viverport-arcade-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/viverport-arcade-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more, the Taiwanese manufacturer also opened a <\/span><b>location dedicated to this<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but we\u2019ll get to it a bit later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back to Viveport Arcade, it&#8217;s also making things simpler. First of all, anybody who owns a virtual reality arcade can get the most compelling content at better prices. And this will attract lower fees for users who want to come in and try the technology. So yeah, as an arcade owner, you don\u2019t need to look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/vr-games-android-download\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">virtual reality games<\/a> for sale anymore, since the program does the entire job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why invest in such a place when VR is getting cheaper?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the entire catch? Why would a business owner pay tons of money on VR equipment when pretty much anybody can try virtual reality on their own, in the comfort of their homes? Let me explain, since it\u2019s actually very simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most consumers might be able to get a virtual reality headset, but we doubt that they are willing to spend big on an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. This is where a virtual reality arcade comes in, offering <\/span><b>low-cost options for trying high-end equipments<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! And believe us, this is incredibly important for the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-vive-vr-arcade.jpg\" alt=\"Girl trying HTC Vive in VR arcade\" width=\"759\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-vive-vr-arcade.jpg 759w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-vive-vr-arcade-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-vive-vr-arcade-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You simply come in, pay a small entrance fee or whatever, and get to <\/span><b>try the best stuff that\u2019s available, in terms of both equipments and experiences<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And not just consumers are happy, but developers also have big smiles on their faces. Thanks to programs like HTC\u2019s Viveport Arcade, they receive a commission every time their title is played!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s about playing alongside your friends as well<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing regular consumers can\u2019t experience with their own headsets is <\/span><b>local multiplayer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I remember that back in the days, me and my friends had PCs, but we were still going to the closest Internet Cafe, just for the sake of playing our favorite game in multiplayer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual reality can be considered a niche market, so it\u2019s still not possible for most of your friends to have access to the headsets required to share a virtual space. If you\u2019re not Tony Stark, of course, and invite all your friends at your place, to try a new Iron Man suit in VR. On the other side, in a virtual reality arcade, shared experiences are possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m already excited for VR pinball, but <\/span><b>a multiplayer game is an absolute dream<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a huge potential in a virtual reality arcade!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already own an arcade or simply looking forward to investing in a new business, this is one opportunity to consider. Keeping it short:\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you can <\/span><b>make money with a virtual reality gaming center<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Like, serious money!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot of potential in such locations, not to mention that they are actually age-proof. To be more specific, <\/span><b>they will attract clients even in 10 years!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 By that time, probably any enthusiast will have an HTC Vive at home, but arcades will have the next big thing. And clients will be curious to try them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it\u2019s a way of allowing locomotion in VR better than a treadmill, a full body suit with haptic feedback or devices allowing higher resolutions, a virtual reality arcade will have what you won\u2019t or can\u2019t even get. And, as a tech fan\/geek\/enthusiast, will go there and see what that new craze is about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ok, I know what you\u2019re thinking now: \u201cThese are just a bunch of presumptions, put together by a VR enthusiast.\u201d Technically, you are right, but at the same time, you are wrong! They\u2019re not simple presumptions, since the potential in VR arcades is already being exploited all over the world. But wouldn\u2019t it be better if we actually show you?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best VR Arcades in the World<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re thinking that a VR games arcade is rarer than a Game of Thrones season final in which a main character doesn\u2019t die, then you\u2019re absolutely wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the concept is still on the rise in the United States. Also, in China, for example, <\/span><b>there are already over 3,000 arcades<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you can try fully immersive experiences. And this isn\u2019t the only country! Let\u2019s see some of the coolest spots like this!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Viveland (Taiwan)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the folks over at HTC are so passionate about this, let\u2019s start with them. One year ago, they opened a 330 square meter VR arcade in the Syntrend Mall in Taipei. Honestly, arcade isn\u2019t that accurate, since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vive.com\/tw\/viveland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viveland<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> looks like a real movie set.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9938\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"HTC Viveland arcade\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unlockunit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/htc-viveland.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to VP of HTC Vive, Raymond Pao, it was built to <\/span><b>showcase what virtual reality can actually do<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but also to discover the best VR arcade business plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With titles like Front Defense or Plank Experience, there\u2019s no doubt that this place is like a real magnet for VR fans!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Vrkade (Canada)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the concept is still developing in North America, it doesn\u2019t mean that VR arcades aren\u2019t present! For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vrkade.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vrkade<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> opened this year in Calgary and it claims to be the <\/span><b>biggest venue of this type in the region<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
