A number of Virtual Reality arcades have opened around the country, which let you experience what the technology is like first-hand. Courell Watson, the Manager of one of the UK’s first VR arcades, Virtual X in Birmingham, told us “the British public is one of the hardest set of people to market to, sometimes. So if you look at China, for example, they’ve got loads of Virtual Reality arcades… one company who we’re actually allianced with\u00a0have got 100 arcades in China alone… their mindset’s different, they’re willing to accept certain things, hence why they’re light years ahead of the UK.”<\/p>\n
