Biggest thing I'm worried about:
This becoming the new WoL. Yes, a project is "in development", but it's always getting changed/delayed indefinitely, while the venue just stays abandoned besides the occasional temporary event.

What's the conversion factor from android years to human years?The "Metaverse" predates Zuck. It's pretty much an common description of online immersion as much as the idea of a multiverse is a common term.
Zuck was eight when the idea was popularly coined.

So how much did the NBA lose on this garbage idea?
“We can’t screw up Star Wars any more than we already have, right? Maybe if we let people see the place we made up, they’ll want to spend money!”

I'm usually not a fan of VR-type games. I find them clunky and not very immersive. But one of my teen sons and I did the VOID VR experience at Disney Springs a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see a bigger/better version of something like that. But it doesn't sound like that's what we're getting here.

Way too much...
Still praying for a Game Central Station Barcade themed to Wreck it Ralph..Who wouldn't want to have a meal and drink after playing vintage games and pinball at Tapper's grill? Or actually play a real version of Sugar Rush..
When you can't get that DHS reservation and want to do a disappointing version of it similar to a Disneyland Adventures sub game..

Much better, My son got a headache playing the Galaxy's Edge game and really couldn't figure out what to do. Vader games are more direct and fun.

Because they want your kids and you to play the game in the headset and love it, then buy one. I wonder if they will actually sell them there too.

Quit insulting Bossk and the Trandoshan people like that......I hear The Zuck himself appears in person in the VR setup.
From what I was told by high up corp folks at D&B once, they seriously want the space, but due to the sports bar lease forbidding the sale of any food or beverage in the building otherwise, they might either be forced to buy it out or wait till they move. But they seriously think it's an improvement over the I drive location which is surprisingly one of the smaller ones I've been to, and definitely small for the biggest possible market they have in terms of kids and tourists.
VR was attempted at Disney Quest long ago with very basic graphics.
The VOID was not Disney. It was a separate company that licensed Disney IP (Star Wars and Ralph). (I liked it!)
This is ILM's foray into getting a foothold into the VR market. Since it's ILM, they have access to Disney IP.
Really, really good VR headsets cost thousands of dollars. Eventually the tech will become cheaper and there will be really, really good VR that will be commonplace. Until that happens, this is all baby steps.
Other than that, what are all the other times Disney attempted VR?
