Scenes from the user's VR experience are displayed on the monitors. I tried VR for the first time during my visit. I was overwhelmed by the quality of the images. It was completely different to what I had imagined!

In some games you can use the controllers to fire an arrow at an enemy! To carry out the attack you actually have to recreate the action that is required to use a bow and arrow in real life!
