FAQ — VR for FECs
How much space does a VR arena need in a FEC?
The entry-level model takes 5×5 m (270 sq ft). For a FEC targeting families and groups, the recommended setup is 8×8 or 10×10 m to maximise simultaneous players (up to 12).
Does the VR arena integrate with other FEC attractions?
Yes. The arena works as a stand-alone attraction, with the Launcher included on a dedicated tablet, and sits alongside the FEC's other attractions. VR customers tend to extend their visit to other attractions.
What game types suit a FEC audience?
The catalog covers 4 categories: arcade (5-15 min, ideal for children and families), laser game (20 min, great for groups), adventures (30 min), and escape rooms (60 min, premium pricing). The mix covers every FEC audience segment.
Does it require dedicated technical staff?
No. The system is designed for non-technical operators. Staff start and manage sessions with the Smart Launcher. Remote technical support is available 7 days a week.
How long does installation take and does the FEC need to close?
Installation takes 2-3 days. The FEC does not need to close: work is confined to the designated area without disrupting other operating attractions.
