Infinity Platforms and KatVR full‑motion immersion
Play on Infinity Platforms for a seated or stationary controller experience, or step onto KatVR‑equipped full‑motion systems that use foot‑motion sensors to enable walking and running through a virtual world.
Teleport from city streets to global summits
Among the experiences are Google Earth‑mapped journeys — walk the streets of major cities or visit mapped natural sites such as Everest, the Grand Canyon, or the Pyramids — offering a uniquely transportive indoor alternative to bad weather or short itineraries.
