Roto has unveiled its latest innovation, the Roto VR Explorer, a gaming chair engineered to revolutionize VR gaming experiences. Developed in collaboration with Meta for its upcoming Quest 3 headset, the Roto VR Explorer promises to immerse players in a whole new level of virtual reality.
The Roto VR Explorer is a motorized chair that seamlessly integrates with VR gameplay. It features 360-degree rotation synchronized with the user’s head movements, providing a truly immersive experience. A powerful motor, spinning at 21 revolutions per minute, ensures smooth and responsive movement, while haptic feedback, vibrating through the chair, adds another layer of sensory immersion.
Designed specifically for the Meta Quest 3, the chair includes a built-in charging station for the headset, keeping players powered up throughout their gaming sessions. The integrated cable management system eliminates the hassle of tangled wires, allowing users to move freely without worry.
The Roto VR Explorer aims to enhance seated VR experiences, providing a more immersive and dynamic gameplay environment. However, its rotational design might limit the compatibility with VR games that require movement within the play space. Despite this, Roto emphasizes that the chair is compatible with all seated VR experiences.
For those susceptible to motion sickness in VR, the Roto VR Explorer, combined with the Meta Quest 3, may offer a more comfortable experience. The chair’s smooth rotation and synchronized movement with head movement could minimize the discomfort associated with VR motion sickness.
The Roto VR Explorer is available for pre-order at $799 and is expected to ship in October. This innovative gaming chair promises to redefine the VR gaming landscape, providing a truly immersive and engaging experience for players.
