Lasertron Krazy Darts – Spotlight Feature 0923

VRsenal is making headset retrofit kits for Virtual Rabbids (above) that come with a 2-year cable warranty. They’re working on kits for other makers’ headsets as well.

Night and day: At left, the fragile wiring inside an HDMI cable presented headaches for operators, especially during the challenging disruptions of the supply chain. Replacements weren’t cheap either. Working with HTC, VRsenal developed a new, rugged cable solution for the VIVE Focus 3, seen at right above, and were also able to eliminate their headset retraction system.

Enter the V2: Covid undermined the launch of VRsenal’s Vader Immortal – Lightsaber Dojo: A Star Wars VR Experience, and while the piece did well, it didn’t reach the levels the team expected. But on a more positive note, the shutdown afforded the opportunity for VRsenal to dive more deeply into improving arcade VR economics. They developed the V2 platform (pictured with the onscreen Dark Lord) which reduced the cost per player by 35% and allowed two units to be placed back-to-back to create a 4-player unattended VR attraction.
