Audience members mount a D-Box system on top of a Robocar that shakes and rolls with the movement of the simulation immersing them in a 360° virtual reality environment provided by a Vive Pro headset working in concert with an articulating sled.

The experience is topped off with a massive fan that blows in the faces of the racers as the car accelerates; enhancing the visceral connection of the haptic VR experience.
