3DO CUSTOMIZES BLADEFORCE FOR VR
|
|
|
|
BladeForce, a flying action-shooter title from Studio 3DO, has been
|
|
customized to operate with X-O-Tron VR. A life-sized gyroscope that immerses
|
|
gamers into the bullet-dodging, tail-spinning, and dive-bombing action of 3DO
|
|
games, the VR gyro has already been snapped up by Paramount's Wonderland in
|
|
Ontario, Canada, and at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
|
|
Besides targeting amusement parks and shopping malls, the manufacturer of
|
|
the X-O-Tron -- Altare Advanced Technologies -- also has plans to sell the
|
|
X-O-Tron to health clubs as a form of exercise and entertainment. Pricing for
|
|
the VR technology starts at $22,000.
