VR Quests: A New Format of Entertainment and Games

VR (virtual reality) quests are a new kind of modern entertainment. You may have attended quests where participants need to solve a number of puzzles and get out of the room. But what does VR quest mean? Are there any in Dubai? And how are VR parks related to this? Let’s consider this in the article.

Virtual reality is a technology that creates a new digital world where a gamer can act. Virtual reality involves the use of special devices such as VR helmets and joysticks. VR headsets help people to immerse themselves in the digital world. A gamer can see an environment around them. Moreover, it looks like a real one due to the detail and special sensors that detect head turns and movements. Free roam technology, which is used by some VR parks in Dubai, gives even more immersion. There are no wires, and movement takes place thanks to sensors that track physical movement and reflect it in virtual reality.

Of course, virtual reality has not always been so well-developed. VR started its way by the creation of the stereoscope in the 1830s. In the 20th century, new inventions began to appear, they became more and more similar to modern devices. Now, they continue to evolve.
Quests involve completing tasks and solving riddles and puzzles. Usually, this kind of entertainment is located in the closed rooms (players need to get out of these rooms). Of course, such entertainment is limited by the possibilities of the physical world. Fortunately, speaking of VR quests, the possibilities are endless. In the game, you could be in outer space, in an ancient city, or in the far future, you could fly, move quickly, and also meet a dragon or a unicorn. VR quests are divided by genre: horror, fantasy, action, and so on. Furthermore, there are VR quests of low, medium, and high level of difficulty. The first two options are suitable for children and beginners, and the third option is more suitable for advanced players.

VR quests are available at VR parks in Dubai. For example, you can play a VR quest in ANVIO VR, which is located at BurJuman Mall, Khalid Bin Al Waleed Rd - Al Mankhool, Dubai. These quests are presented as a kind of VR games.
