I just went home for winter break to Cincinnati and found something rather interesting. At Forest Fair Mall in northern Cincinnati, there is a new VR arcade by the name of Virtuality. They were just finishing installation, so the current setup is 4 sit-down units (looks like a bumper car with a hmd and two joysticks mounted on the inside) and 2 stand-up units (4-foot circular platform with circular guard rails, a hmd and a hand-held pointer which acts as a gun). I do not know whether all players are simultaneously in the same "reality" or not. The cost was $4 to play. Has anyone heard of this company or these games?
