Location-based Entertainment (LBE) technology is ushering in a new era of entertainment, transforming one-off weekend date night attractions at family entertainment centers to recurring revenue. The commercialization of an estimated 8 billion dollar industry by 2028 is positioned to disrupt the way entertainment centers and arcades operate. At the forefront of this transformation is VIVE's newest free-roam, location-based software paired with the untethered VIVE Focus 3, enabling players to run, crawl, and duck freely in a share physical space, known as the VR eSports arena.

In this panel, VIVE's Executive Director sits down with the creators of the VR eSports Area, Phenomena along with the Owner and Operator of Family Entertainment Center, Sprockets Fun Foundry to discuss:

The business impact of adding untethered VR to a Family Entertainment Center
Reliability and up-time realized with new advancements in VR Attractions
How VR Sports Arena will future-proof FEC's investment with VR attractions
New experiences/content enabled with the VIVE Focus 3
