The venue would allow various VR experiences developed by Sandbox to be played. Customers will be able use motion capture alongside the latest VR software to engage in a tailored experience, much different to what may be possible on regular home VR consoles. The venue will have capacity for 120 customers and will be redeveloped from two retail units. There will be two bars added to the premises, one featuring a robot bartender. Sandbox VR, which operates on a franchise model, currently has locations in 40 cities worldwide. Established in 2016 in Hong Kong, the majority of Sandbox VR’s centres are based in the US, and the Dublin centre will be only its fourth European opening. (2023/08/25)
