Latin America has seen steady growth in VR entertainment venues, from mall-based arcades in major cities to standalone FECs in tourist regions. But sourcing equipment for this region comes with its own set of practical considerations — import duties and taxation vary significantly by country, electrical standards differ from many other markets, and shipping routes…
The Middle East has become one of the fastest-growing regions for VR entertainment venues, driven by major investment in malls, family entertainment centers, and large-scale leisure destinations across the Gulf states and beyond. But sourcing VR arcade equipment for this region comes with a few considerations that don’t apply everywhere — from certification requirements to…
Opening a VR arcade involves real decisions about equipment, space, and budget — and one of the best ways to understand what actually works is to look at a venue that’s already done it. Here’s how one VR arcade operator in the United States planned, launched, and grew a venue using equipment from VART VR.…
Racing-themed attractions are a reliable category in VR arcades, but “racing” covers more than one format. Two of the most common options — a VR motorcycle simulator and a 3-screen racing simulator — appeal to overlapping but distinct audiences, and differ meaningfully in footprint, cost, and throughput. Here’s how to decide which fits your venue.…
Once you’ve decided a 9D VR cinema fits your venue, the next question is scale: 6, 9, or 12 seats.

For operators working with a smaller footprint — a mall kiosk, a corner of an existing FEC, or a compact retail space — the 9D Egg VR Cinema is one of the most space-efficient ways to offer a premium, fully immersive VR cinema experience. Its distinctive egg-shaped enclosure houses two seats, individual VR headsets, and…
VR shooting simulators are among the most consistently popular attractions in arcades and family entertainment centers, appealing to a wide age range and offering the kind of competitive, replayable experience that drives repeat visits. But “VR shooting simulator” covers a range of formats, from single-player booths to multiplayer combat arenas, and choosing the right setup…
Among single-player VR attractions, the 360° rotating chair stands out for one reason: motion. While a standard VR motion chair tilts and vibrates in place, a rotating chair adds continuous or intermittent full rotation, creating a more physically intense sensation that pairs well with certain types of content and draws attention from across a room.…
When operators compare VR attractions purely on upfront cost, single-player units often look like the safer bet. But when you factor in revenue per hour rather than just purchase price, multiplayer rides — like a 3-player VR flight simulator — frequently deliver stronger returns.
