I had this idea shortly after VR got re-started. I figured it wouldn't be long until well can play VR games while running around in a large physical arena that matches the VR map.

A lot of people had that idea. I've got half a backpack computer designed, but wireless systems seem to be the new direction. Bit disappointed that the space they are using is only slightly larger than my house. 2000sqft for 8 people to be running or playing in is not a lot. 30 minute matches is a long time too. I'd be surprised if they didn't cut it to 20 or even 15 minutes. Depending on the number of rooms available they could have issues getting people through the queue fast enough. There's also a sanitation issue if people run that long with a hot backpack they'll be soaked, the backpacks will be soaked, the masks will be soaked...yuck.

If counter strike wall hacks were bad enough, it's not going to stop people running through them with a VR headset on!
