The ‘best virtual reality experience on the planet’ joins entertainment lineup at the district. Special pre-opening savings are available for those who book early.
INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bottleworks District is pleased to announce the grand opening of Sandbox VR, a full-body virtual reality entertainment experience located on the Northwest corner of the Bottleworks Hotel building on September 30. Sandbox VR’s socially immersive gaming experience combines full-body motion capture and high-quality haptics to provide unprecedented realism and complete immersion that’s not possible with home VR systems or other location-based VR venues, taking group Virtual Reality gameplay and competitive socializing to the next level.
“Opening in Indianapolis and inside the historic Bottleworks District is incredibly exciting,” said Steven Zhao, founder of Sandbox VR. “This district is bustling with activities and draws visitors from all over the area. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring our unique VR experience to the community.”
At Sandbox VR, players experience heart-pounding, exhilarating, immersive gameplay when they fend off zombie hordes, enter a world of swashbuckling adventure, soar on a space elevator or compete in a futuristic combat arena – the true future of immersive entertainment.
“Sandbox VR brings something completely unique to Bottleworks District,” said Gavin Thomas, VP of development, Hendricks Commercial Properties. “This experience adds yet another entertainment option for families, tourists and locals alike who visit the district.”
Sandbox VR’s Bottleworks location will feature four private rooms for virtual reality gameplay called “holodecks” in which groups of up to six players have a truly shared experience, exploring virtual worlds and relying on each other to succeed in games designed to be social experiences. Together with friends, family, or co-workers, players are equipped with a VR headset, a haptic vest, a backpack and motion sensors on their wrists and ankles. This technology allows players to see and physically interact with one another while feeling like they are in the middle of an action movie, with the heightened emotions that come from not just watching a film, but from actually becoming the stars of the action.
Guests choose from any of six exclusive immersive experiences created by Sandbox VR’s in-house team of video game industry veterans:
Sandbox VR provides an unparalleled entertainment experience rated 4.8 out of 5 stars by over 15,000 guests worldwide!
