VR Freeplay Area Coming to PAX Australia


After some strong VR showings at the various PAX events in America, PAX Australia is getting in on the action with a dedicated VR space.

The VR Freeplay Area, sponsored by Harvey Norman Games Hub, will let people get hands on with the latest in VR hardware, with dedicated HTC VIVE playable areas that will also include some green-screen VR setups and Omni treadmills, as well as Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR.

"VR dominates the headlines, yet most people have never had the chance to try it out," said Jerry Holkins, co-founder, Penny Arcade and PAX. "Trying that technology for the first time is a magical experience, and we're glad to offer that moment to the tens of thousands of attendees coming to PAX Aus."

The space will be on the second level of the convention centre and will be very popular, so be sure to check it out early. Tickets for the show are still available and can be purchased here.
