Roto VR, in partnership with Meta, has unveiled the Roto VR Explorer, a cutting-edge VR gaming chair that takes virtual reality entertainment to the next level. This innovative chair features Roto VR’s patented “Look & Turn” technology, which enhances the seated 360-degree VR experience with its motorized base and full-body haptics. The Roto VR Explorer is the first-ever VR chair to be part of Meta’s “Made for Meta” program and is now available for pre-order at a price of $799.
Elliott Myers, CEO of Roto, expressed his excitement about the partnership with Meta, stating that the Roto VR Explorer amplifies the immersion of virtual reality to a whole new level. Myers emphasized that VR is not just about visuals but also about the ability to explore and feel like you’re truly present in virtual worlds. The Roto VR Explorer not only overcomes the challenges of seated exploration in VR but also provides an additional layer of immersion through haptic feedback. Myers believes that the combination of Roto with Meta Quest offers gamers unparalleled adventures from the comfort of their own homes.
Roto VR’s Look & Turn technology is designed to intuitively rotate users in the direction they look, solving issues related to 360-degree viewing, locomotion, and motion sickness. The chair also includes a built-in rumble pack that delivers haptic feedback throughout the user’s body, further enhancing the sense of immersion. The Roto VR Explorer is specifically developed for Meta Quest headsets but is compatible with all seated VR experiences. It supports over 400 games and apps available from the Meta Quest store.
In terms of comfort, the Roto VR Explorer features a high-quality leather seat with back supports, adjustable seat height, and a footrest, ensuring a comfortable 360-degree gaming experience. The chair also offers practical features such as a cable management solution and smart charging. Its modular design allows for the addition of various accessories, catering to different types of game set-ups.
Roto VR, founded by Elliott Myers in 2015, is based in London and aims to revolutionize the way people experience virtual reality. With the Roto VR Explorer, they are taking a significant step towards achieving that goal by providing gamers with a truly immersive and comfortable VR gaming chair.
