Moderated Panel: Why and How VR Attractions Require a Different Operations Mindset (Room The Westgate Las Vegas, Pavilion 4)

27 Feb 18
1:45 PM - 2:30 PM

Tracks: Virtual Reality

Operations and labor costs can make or break the profitability of a VR Arcade. Many consumer based systems require an unsustainable level of attention from staff. Most customers have not tried VR, so they don’t have the context of understand why they should pay to play. All these issues lead to requirements to higher specialized staff to operate and manage a VR attraction today. We will hear from operators running VR attractions about how they hire, train and retain staff, maintain equipment, deal with hygiene and other tips and tricks from the field.
