Using the latest in HTC Vive technology, Space VR offers room-size immersive virtual reality experiences that allow for full 360º participation in computer-created environments.

In a statement, the company said: “Players wear headsets that transport them to any one of hundreds of real or imaginary worlds where they can battle zombies, perform surgery, walk through Van Gogh's paintings, feed dinosaurs or explore the ocean depths with a great blue whale.”
