Phoenix gives children a thrilling VR ride – on a swing!
4th February-31st March 2019
This event has ended. Click here to view the details anyway.
Venue: Phoenix Cinema and Art Centre 4 Midland St, Leicester LE1 1TG
Website: www.phoenix.org.uk
Cinema and art centre’s half term programme includes VR Playground, drop-in VR cinema, children’s films, comedy and crafts
Over half term, Phoenix is giving families the chance to put on virtual reality headsets, jump on a playground swing, and be transported into a thrilling virtual adventure.
Powered by the motion of the swing, VR Playground propels the rider through a series of colourful abstract virtual worlds – scooting through a metropolis, leaping tall structures in a single bound, or surging upwards to escape the deep abyss.
VR Playground is free of charge and at Phoenix daily from Tue 19 to Thu 21 Feb, 11am – 4.30pm.
With four individual swings, the ride is open to all and recommended for children over 11 – or whose feet can touch the ground whilst on the swing. Full details are at www.phoenix.org.uk/event/vr-playground/
Phoenix will also have a drop-in virtual reality cinema where adults and children alike can experience a breathtaking selection of VR films and animations.
