Free Roam VR uses backpack computers, head mounted displays, and arrays of sensors for complex real time motion capture, to fully immerse the user in a digital world, where they are free to roam and interact. The February, 2016, Sundance VR Forum featured a demonstration of a free roam system from a team from Geneva, Switzerland, Artanim. He’d experienced “Sleep No More” in New York, which charges a hundred dollars for a “free roam” theatrical experience. “We plan to use the medium to create large scale cinematic experiences”, Parkes explained. “What ultimately sets us apart from virtually all other VR companies, which are run by technologists, is that we’re run by content creators,” Parkes said.
