Bob Cooney is one of the world's leading experts inLocation-based Virtual Reality.His session is called, "Virtual Reality: It’s Not What You Think It Is".
Too many operators are looking at VR like it’s a checkbox on their equipment list. That approach is due to a misunderstanding of what virtual realityreallyis. VR isn’t a type of attraction; it’s a display technology that comes with ultimate levels of immersive. Bob will explain what VR really is, where it applies in the amusement sector today, and what it will likely disrupt in the near future.
