Our take
Virtual Reality has existed for decades now, but even recent developments in the technology lack essential factors such as physical immersion and social interaction. Existing VR systems are dominated by sit-down single-player setups, and more immersive experiences are generally expensive and limited spatially.
Sandbox VR operates physical virtual reality spaces for customers to enjoy a multiplayer gaming experience within. The company aims to produce a content ecosystem to compete with existing VR developers for legacy consoles, combatting the expensive technology costs by charging per usage within a fixed location.
Whilst VR is breaking into the mainstream video game console landscape, Sandbox VR stands out by providing an affordable opportunity to test technology that is too impractical and costly for home experiences. Furthermore, the unique approach to multi-player and physical-space-focused VR demonstrates the potential to maintain interest in an industry that consumers have high expectations of.
