Featured commercial systems

See the equipment the way customers will experience it.

AR VR XR LIFE already owns commercial attraction hardware and a broad VR/MR and simulation inventory. Featured visuals and optional external demo links are included to show the equipment in operation without relying on embedded video playback.

PLAY + EVENTS

Owatch VR Magic Box

The kiosk is shown with the overhead headset-support structure and customers actively playing—the complete experience, not just the cabinet.

Optional manufacturer demo

Watch a separate product demo in a new tab instead of playing an embedded video on the page.

PLAY + GROUPS

Owatch Multiplayer VR Escape Room

The customer experience is room-scale and multiplayer—teams moving, communicating and solving challenges together rather than simply viewing a piece of hardware.

Selected manufacturer imagery and optional external demos are used for equipment context. Final software, licensing, branding, floor plan and customer experience may vary by pilot location.

Built for all ages

Different reasons to visit. Different times of day.

The operating model is designed to serve adults and groups as the core consumer market while making productive use of daytime hours through seniors, schools, workforce and community partners.

Adults & Date Nights

Social VR, simulation, challenges and group experiences for adults looking for something different to do.

Leagues & Tournaments

Recurring competition designed around standings, skill progression, team play and repeat visits.

Birthdays, Groups & Corporate

Private bookings, celebrations, team outings, corporate events and community gatherings.

55+

Senior & Relaxed Sessions

Earlier-day, lower-pressure sessions that can include seated VR, travel/exploration, simulation and guided technology experiences.

Schools & Youth

STEM, game development, career exploration and immersive learning for schools and youth organizations.

Workforce & Community

Technology demonstrations, simulation-based learning and partner-led community or workforce programming.

Pop-up & event experience

AR VR XR LIFE has already operated in public-facing settings.

In 2025, AR VR XR LIFE participated as a Sunday pop-up vendor at an indoor winter farmers market at Water Tower Place in Chicago. That experience adds real pop-up operating history to our broader VR event, STEM and community-activation work.

Equipment ready

More than headsets.

Existing inventory includes standalone VR/MR headsets, Owatch commercial systems, flight and driving simulation equipment, gaming systems, wearable mixed-reality devices, haptic equipment and supporting computers.

The pilot will start with a carefully selected mix based on storefront size, safety, customer demand and repeat-use performance.
