The world of virtual reality<\/strong> gaming remains an incredibly enticing industry for many companies to break into. Though some members of the video game industry, like PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, still think VR\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0true potential is quite a ways off.<\/p>\n

Now, some recent developments in the realm of VR arcades might make Ryan\u2019s doubts about VR\u2019s future seem more plausible than ever. Thanks to an interview by way of Protocol, it seems Disney\u2019s line of \u201cThe Void\u201d\u00a0VR<\/a> arcades are currently in danger of shutting down operations completely.<\/p>\n

The Void was founded by Ken Bretscheider and was originally conceived as a virtual reality theme park. The Void arcades feature tons of equipment involving virtual reality visors, haptic feedback equipment, and noise-canceling headphones. In July of 2017, The Void received a major boon in the form of a partnership with the Disney Accelerator Program, which gave a boost in funding as well as the use of popular Disney IP like Star Wars<\/em> and the Avengers<\/em>. Unfortunately, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> alongside other key factors, The Void arcades are in danger of closing down for good.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

One of the biggest key factors being an asset transfer that stripped The Void of its use of Disney\u2019s IP. Without Disney\u2019s IP, it\u2019s going to be extremely difficult to maintain the audience it held before. However, the company\u2019s new owner Jim Bennett thinks that there\u2019s still a chance the company could reopen after a COVID-19<\/a> vaccine is complete. Bennett says the company is \u201cquite confident\u201d that when malls eventually reopen that \u201clocation-based VR will be back in high demand.\u201d Hopefully, Bennett\u2019s hunch is correct and The Void\u2019s virtual reality<\/strong> arcades will end up saved from total extinction.<\/p>\n
