Meta and Roto VR Ltd have just announced a game-changing addition to the world of virtual reality with the introduction of the Roto VR Explorer, a next-generation VR gaming chair. This innovative product, developed in partnership with Meta, is set to redefine immersive experiences for VR enthusiasts.
The Roto VR Explorer, designed specifically to complement Meta Quest headsets, promises to elevate the virtual reality experience with its unique “Look & Turn” technology. This patented feature allows users to intuitively rotate in their seated position, effortlessly addressing the challenges of 360º viewing, motion sickness, and VR locomotion. Coupled with a powerful motorized base and full-body haptic feedback, the Explorer offers a level of immersion that has never been seen before in seated VR setups.
Marking a significant milestone, the Roto VR Explorer is the first VR chair to be certified under the “Made for Meta” program, highlighting its seamless integration with Meta’s VR ecosystem. Gamers and VR enthusiasts can pre-order the chair starting today for $799 USD (£799 in the UK).
“Meta has transformed how we experience virtual reality in recent years, especially so with the standout Quest 3,” said Elliott Myers, CEO and Founder of Roto. “With the Roto VR Explorer, we’ve been able to amplify that immersion to a whole new level. VR is more than just visuals – it’s about being able to go and explore places and feel like you’re really there. Roto not only solves the challenges of exploring virtual worlds whilst seated, it also offers another layer of immersion with haptic feedback. Roto with Quest offers gamers the most fantastical adventures from the comfort of their home.”
The Roto VR Explorer is packed with features aimed at enhancing comfort and immersion. The chair includes a built-in rumble pack that provides full-body haptic feedback, further blurring the lines between the virtual and real worlds. It’s developed for Meta Quest headsets but boasts compatibility with over 400 games and apps in the Meta Quest store, making it a versatile addition to any VR setup.
Designed with user comfort in mind, the chair features a high-quality leather seat with back supports, adjustable seat height, and a footrest, ensuring comfort during extended gaming sessions. The Roto VR Explorer also incorporates a smart cable management system and supports a range of modular accessories to cater to various gaming setups, although these are sold separately.
For those eager to take their VR experience to new heights, more information is available on the official Roto VR website and their social media channels.
