Virtual Reality Gaming Center Comes to Carlisle Sports Emporium

Carlisle Sports Emporium is bringing the future to Central Pennsylvania with a virtual reality experience at The Place to Play. This new virtual reality gaming center from Hologate Studios delivers an unmatched multiplayer experience, immersing you, your family and your friends into a variety of environments that test your skills as you battle in player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-enemy (PvE) scenarios.

How Does VR Work?

In the past few years, the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PlayStation VR have become household names. The idea behind each virtual reality gaming technology is to provide an immersive environment by tracking your head, eye, hand and body movements, along with controller inputs, through an expansive view. The resulting imaging makes you feel like you’re a part of the world displayed through your VR headset or goggles.

A few factors are critical in the function of a VR system and include:

• FPS: The frames per second (FPS) creates a seamless virtual reality experience and prevents motion sickness. The minimum is 60 FPS, which ensures your gaming experience is a smooth transition from reality to the virtual game.
• Latency: The lag or latency describes the delay in reading your motions or movements by the VR system. The ideal latency is 50 milliseconds or less. This makes your gaming experience as real as reality.

The virtual system with Hologate will offer 90 FPS and a 2K resolution that offers minimal latency.

How to Play the Hologate Virtual Reality System

The four-person VR system invites you to square off against opponents in a struggle of epic proportions. Slip on your headset, grab your blaster and get ready for some serious fun.

The Hologate System features:

• 10- minute games
• Active physical play
• High-end headsets
• Premium content

Hologate tested the game play to ensure those who suffer from motion sickness will have a pleasant experience, and they found that none of the participants suffered from motion sickness or other side effects after playing the game. No customer will go home feeling sick or dizzy.

 Virtual Reality Gaming Center Different From VR for Consoles and Smartphones?

The technology behind a virtual reality gaming center puts it above the virtual reality gaming systems available for smartphones and consoles. The weakness of smartphone virtual reality experiences, such as those provided through Google Cardboard, come from their design, which is void of audio and hand tracking. Instead, it’s a virtual reality experience that only focuses on your eye and head movements that cuts into your immersion and makes you a spectator.

For console systems, like the PlayStation VR, the drawback is latency, or delay, when responding to your hand movements. The PlayStation Move, for example, carries a frequent complaint of high latency or delayed responses. That removes you from the moment you’re experiencing, and it’s also a delay that could lead to your character dying — one of the most exasperating experiences for gamers.

The reality gaming center from Hologate does away with those negative experiences by integrating leading VR technologies. When you visit Carlisle Sports Emporium, you will enjoy one of the latest technologies of available.
