Attention VR fans! We're off to Illucity, the virtual reality park located in the heart of La Défense, in the Westfield shopping center. Escape games, games and other immersive experiences... Come and discover the activities on offer!
When reality and virtuality create illusions...Illucity, the first virtual reality park in Paris, fits the bill perfectly. Located in the heart of La Défense, this establishment offers a whole range of activities and other VR experiences never before seen in the capital, and which are sure to delight VR and video game enthusiasts.
The park goes beyond the simple experience, since it"transcends gaming and conceives virtual reality as a unique, accessible and collective experience", all with the help of"cutting-edge technology and attractive scenography". It's the collective experience that's at the forefront here, as Illucity particularly offers group gaming sessions, whether you're equipped with simple controllers or all the portable paraphernalia for total immersion in a virtual universe.
At Illucity, the adventure begins at the entrance, with a graphic design reminiscent of optical illusions and trompe-l'œil. A sensory journey that continues right through to the playrooms, for total immersion and a "plural illusion", as much visual as aural or tactile. In terms of experiences, the 1,000m2 center offers a full range of activities for four different approaches to VR: Hyper Reality Experience, VR Escape Game, VR Arcade and VR Film. There's something for everyone, whether you're new to VR or have some experience.
