More unveiled the next phase of virtual reality entertainment with the Roto VR Explorer, a next-generation VR gaming chair created in collaboration with Meta.
The Roto VR creates an unparalleled immersive experience with Meta Quest headsets with its patented “Look & Turn” technology that transforms the seated 360-degree experience with its powerful motorized base and full-body haptics.
It will be the very first VR chair under the “Made for Meta” program and is open for pre-orders starting today for $799.
“Meta has changed the way we experience virtual reality over the past few years, most notably with the standout Quest 3. With the Roto VR Explorer, we've taken that immersion to a whole new level,” Roto CEO Elliott Myers said in a statement. “VR is about more than just visuals — it's about being able to explore places and feel like you're really there. Roto not only solves the challenges of exploring virtual worlds while seated, it adds an extra layer of immersion with haptic feedback. Roto with Quest gives gamers the most amazing adventures from the comfort of their home.”
