What is virtual reality?
Let's recall what virtual reality is before looking in more detail at what a moment spent in an E-real center holds for the public. Virtual reality is a technology that allows the player to project himself in a virtual universe, to move around in it and to interact with the environment that surrounds him. To do this, each E-real virtual reality center has game stations equipped with LCD screens, cameras, as well as joysticks, headsets and controllers optimized to offer a high quality immersive experience. Some games are played alone, others in teams. For multiplayer sessions, an audio device integrated into the VR headset allows you to communicate with your partners.
E-réel uses state-of-the-art technology and offers crazy and exclusive scenarios. So many good reasons to push the door of one of these centers in Haute-Savoie to discover virtual reality.
