The modular structure allows for selection of the ideal setup combination for many different applications, from multiplayer gaming or walkable VR showrooms to virtual training scenarios. In addition to features such as large-scale tracking even from room to room, unlimited number of players, and lowest latency, the Immersive Deck also offers specialized tools including “gamemaster”, “character switch”, “virtual exit”, and “redirected walking”.
