IMAX Plans To Build Additional VR Theaters

IMAX has been planning this VR expansion for over a year but it isn’t the first one to do it. MK2, located in Paris, build similar Virtual Reality theaters to immerse customer into exciting experiences. VR cinemas, as normal cinemas did in their time, will be pretty useful to provide different and exciting entertainment for people. But not only that, it will also promote Virtual Reality and make it affordable and accessible for people that haven’t still tried the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. You can now simply buy a ticket and enjoy it for a while.

IMAX will start with an interesting set of movies and games that include The Walk Eagle Flight, and Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine. The company is also developing original content in order to stand out and has already raised $50 million for the development and construction of more VR Theaters. California, New York, the UK, and China are on the waiting list but IMAX must first prove that its VR Center in LA is successful. We are confident that Virtual Reality Theaters will be a very good step in the mass adoption of VR.
