Zero Latency VR in NOLA

Zero Latency VR in the Warehouse District has been thrilling visitors for five months now. However, no matter how many times you've been, nothing can prepare you for "Haunted."

The brand new virtual reality haunted house experience thrusts you and your team into a bone-chilling, 15-minute, scary movie, of which you are the star. You have no weapon for this one. You may find that your arms are holding onto your own body, subconsciously guarding your vital organs. Beginning in the living space of the seemingly normal, yet eerie home, you are required to walk through rooms to find the way out. The lady of the house, a frightening figure, will try all of her tricks to keep you in place, however.

Each person can have a different experience; the mistress has a way of making you all go separate ways, and recounting your experiences afterwards can sound like a fever dream. Did I really see those wrapped, upside-down bodies hanging from the basement ceiling over a flood of blood? Do I really have to go down these terrifying stairs into the dark corners?

While thrills and chills await you around every corner, you know that nothing can actually touch your body, unlike a person-staffed haunted house. You're truly walking in a well-lit room with your pals. However, what you're experiencing with your eyes and your ears may shock you. After "Haunted," you can get your revenge on the dead with "Undead Arena." You are outfitted with a weapon that you can change into a variety of virtual guns to help you take down the approaching hoards that want to eat your brains. The ones with the football helmets are a little bit more challenging than the everyday zombies.

While "Haunted" came out just in time for the Halloween season, it will be a permanent addition to the lineup of awesome fully-immersive virtual reality experiences that Zero Latency offers. My teammate wore his glasses with ease under the headset. Also, motion sickness has not been a problem yet. As the business name suggests, the only movement you experience comes from you moving your head. The virtual world doesn't move around or lag, so you can keep your vision still if needed.
