DPVR and LAI Games Join Forces to Revolutionize Arcade VR with ‘Virtual Rabbids’
On November 12, 2024, DPVR, a leading provider of virtual reality (VR) hardware and software solutions based in Shanghai, announced an exciting collaboration with LAI Games, a prominent name in interactive entertainment and arcade gaming solutions. This partnership aims to co-create an innovative arcade VR device known as ‘Virtual Rabbids,’ which promises to deliver an exhilarating roller coaster experience by merging DPVR’s advanced VR technology with LAI Games’ dynamic gameplay.
The Virtual Rabbids Experience
At the heart of this collaboration is the ‘Virtual Rabbids’ experience, which is developed in partnership with Ubisoft. This unique offering combines motion simulation with the cutting-edge E4 ArcadeX headset from DPVR. The headset boasts a stunning 4K resolution display and a remarkable 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring that players enjoy crisp, vibrant visuals and fluid motion that truly brings every virtual scene to life.
The immersive experience is further enhanced by synchronized haptic feedback delivered through a motion platform, allowing players to feel the thrill of the ride as they navigate through the virtual world. Weighing in at just 285 grams, the E4 ArcadeX headset is designed for comfort, making it ideal for extended gaming sessions. This focus on user comfort is crucial for enhancing the overall sense of immersion, allowing players to lose themselves in the adventure.
Innovations in Arcade Gaming
One of the standout features of the Virtual Rabbids experience is its touchless payment system. This innovation simplifies the management process for location-based entertainment (LBE) and arcade operators, making it easier to handle transactions and improve the overall customer experience. As the demand for highly immersive and interactive entertainment continues to grow, this collaboration between DPVR and LAI Games is poised to set a new standard in the arcade gaming industry.
Derek Liu, COO at DPVR, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, “This collaboration represents a significant milestone for both companies. By working with LAI Games to develop an exclusive VR arcade system, we are tapping into the growing demand for highly immersive and interactive entertainment. Our E4 ArcadeX VR headset’s superior technology will ensure players experience arcade gaming like never before.”
A Vision for the Future
Darren Chia, Managing Director at LAI Games, echoed Liu’s sentiments, describing the partnership as a pivotal step toward the future of arcade gaming. He noted, “LAI Games has always adopted the use of new technologies to bring new excitement to our games and to provide our customers a better user experience. DPVR’s E4 ArcadeX headsets deliver the performance and quality that our games demand.”
Through this collaboration, DPVR and LAI Games aim to establish a new benchmark for the LBE industry. The companies have announced plans to roll out enhanced integrations across arcades and entertainment centers worldwide in the coming months. Importantly, the Virtual Rabbids arcade experience will be exclusively available through the partnership, ensuring that players have access to a unique and unparalleled gaming experience.
