VR Paragliding Experience ParadropVR Descends Onto Brighton Palace Pier

[kevinw729]

Virtual reality (VR) arcades and location-based entertainment (LBE) venues seem to be the new way for companies and VR developers to make money from the technology. There are various avenues being tested and rolled out, from centres that feature several headsets setup, to open plan warehouse spaces offering free-roaming experiences. Frontgrid, a British specialist in global leisure and attractions, has created a VR paragliding experience called ParadropVR which is now open at Brighton Palace Pier.

I actually had a go on the JumpZone VR Simulator in San Fransisco.  Was my 2nd foray into the world of VR!! 

Managed to hit the X landing zone too 🙂
