Has anyone ever been to Void? What was your experience like?
We LOVED The Void during our family June trip. The four of us, DH, my 16 year old son, 12 year old daughter and I , had no VR experience when we did this and it kinda blew our minds. It was one of the top favorite things on our trip. Even my 12 year daughter, who isn't a Star Wars fan thought it was fun. It might be an unpopular opinion, but we liked The VOID better than FOP. Despite the VR is a higher quality on FOP. Now I wish we would have done the Star Wars a second time because there is nothing like this where we live.
We were 45 minutes early for our appointment, and they were able to get us in sooner. I don't think it was a busy time for them. We had to sign a waiver, and there was a short thing to watch. A guy helped us put on the gear, and headed us over to the room. We were the only group in the little room, we didn't have to share the room with others, and that was nice, it was just us. The guy said that if we had any problems and needed help, to raise an arm straight up and help would come. Once it started, it took us couple of minutes to figure out what is going on with what we were seeing and how things worked. I had a little bit of a problem with my vision being a little blurry at times. I am not sure if my glasses or viser were smudged, or if I was having problems adjusting to the VR with my bifocal glasses on, but it wasn't bad enough to take away from the overall experience. It was simply incredible to me, to hold up my hand and see it with storm trooper armour on, to know those other storm troopers moving around were my family. I could identify who was who by their height. My daughter was a short storm trooper. No matter where I looked, I saw details of a room on a ship/scene in the Star Wars world. I don't want to say what happened, for fear of spoilers, but the story line lead us from room to room as part of a "mission". There were a couple of easy puzzles that my 12 year old and I worked out while my hubby and son fought off the bad guys with blasters. I loved the way it worked out it seemed like teamwork. The puzzles were real things we physically touched, so that was a neat touch to have worked into the VR. There were hazzards we had to avoid, like being shot, (when I was hit, I felt a vibration on the chest gear) or VR that made it look like I was walking across something narrow over a fire or a fatal drop. I loved the feeling of being able to interact in this world. Not sure how it would compare with other VR experiences.
