What Is Virtual Reality?
Virtual reality (or 'VR') is an interactive, computer-generated experience that takes place within a simulated environment, that incorporates auditory, visual and other types of sensory feedback.
-
Why experience VR?
Attempting Virtual Reality for the first time can be a eye-opening experience! Today's advanced graphic technology allows users to be completely immersed in the game or film of their choosing. Try something you'd never be able to do normally - all within the safe confines of our booth!
-
What System Do You Use?
VR Wonderland uses 2 distinct systems:
- For standard Virtual Reality games and Virtual Reality films, you'll use the HTV Vive virtual reality system. The Viva uses "room scale" tracking technology, allowing the user to move in 3D space, and uses motion-tracked handheld controllers to interact with the environment.
- VR Wonderland also has the exciting new HOLOGATE technology. HOLOGATE allows up to 4 users to compete or co-operate in multiplayer VR action within a shared space. HOLOGATE games offer 5-10 minutes of physically engaging activity. -
Is It Safe?
It is! The vast majority of people have no issues playing Virtual Reality games. A few may experience minor motion sickness symptoms - but the beauty of VR is, you can always simply take off your headset and take a break. If you're worried about over-exerting yourself, you can always try one of our enjoyable VR films to get the amazing High-definition VR experience without the activity level of a game.

What Is HOLOGATE?
HOLOGATE lets you and your friends go on an exhilarating adventure in a new reality. Fight robots, dragons and zombies, throw a virtual snow ball or bond together and try to escape a sinking submarine. Step inside this high-end system and you will forget about pixels and technology as soon as you put on the headset. The intense graphics on the 90fps headset make every motion feel real; no lagging, no buffering, and no motion sickness. VR Wonderland at the Pen Centre is lucky enough to have one of only 4 HOLOGATE systems in Canada!
