VR experience rental

General
Greetings readers
I have wanted to try the VR experience without investing in equipment. To my astonishment, I found a company that rents
VR experiences in my area. They provide the games and all the equipment (headsets, controllers, and computers) needed.
If you have the same curiosity, maybe your area has a VR experience rental also.
If you are in Southern California, here is my review of the company in my area.

Location: Redlands CA
$20/hr/person
https://www.noo.bs/
Here is their equipment setup.
Two single person VR stations tethered to computers to run the VR experience/game you choose. Headset and one controller for each hand included. You must stay in a 5 foot area due to the tether.
One large open Free Roaming VR area for multi-player games. There are two model of VR equipment here. One model works off an infrared grid field laid down in the area. A computer in your vest calculates your position in the VR world. The other model reads the physical room surroundings. There is a cell phone sized computer in the headset that calculates your position in the VR world. That is why the walls have crazy shaped and colors on the walls. For controllers there are hand controllers, controller gun, and leg/arm controllers. Arm and leg controller allow you to kick and punch. The game you choose determines the controllers you use. The open area can accommodate two to eight persons at a time depending on the VR world running. Four is the ideal number.
NOOBS offer a very large number of VR games, and experiences. If on a single VR station, you can change to a different game any time you want. In the Free Roaming VR area all players participate in a multi-player game.
There a 15 feet stainless steel table, and chairs, for eating. You can bring your own food or purchase snacks from the snack machine. Just down the street, and around the corner, is every fast food you can name. Drive up is Covid safer than indoor dining. There are 8 recliner chairs facing a large wall TV. Others can watch what you are watching in your headset.
There is ample parking. And easy freeway access. The business is family owned, and they are very friendly and helpful.
If you are curious about why everyone is so excited about VR, you need to experience it. I hope this may help you satisfy your curiosity.
