Mind over matter: networking, themeing and games which appeal to different emotions are central to the future success of virtual reality

Article Abstract:

Interactive entertainment is one of virtual reality's (VR) strongest markets and entertainment centre operators are looking into the installation of pay-for-play VR game systems. Location based entertainment (LBE) embraces interactive technology becoming a new category of public entertainment. LBE centres usually have a central theme and most VR products feature networking enabling players to pit their skills against other people rather than a computer. The growing success of VR will depend engaging storylines which harness the power and capabilities of the technology.

Service matters

Article Abstract:

Many operators of leisure attractions in the UK are under strong pressure to improve levels of service and to increase visitor numbers.

Partnerships are starting to be formed between contract caterers and the leisure sector, with contract caterers being able to offer the high level of flexibility which is required in an industry where demand fluctuates throughout the year.

Phone boxes

Article Abstract:

Payphones can be a source of profit for leisure industry operators, but care must be taken to select the most suitable equipment and location. The location can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised, and this will determine the choice of equipment. In supervised areas, the payphone can be reasonably lightweight, and will be the least expensive of all the options. Consideration must also be given to whether the payphone appears to be user-friendly.
