I'm Bridget Carey but I'm Scott Stein and it's time to break some VR so here at CES 2019 we're in Las Vegas but we took a little detour from the show floor to check out the voids new experience Ralph breaks VR which is based off the movie Ralph breaks the internet yeah so the void has had these location-based entertainment centers creating different types of experiences mapping VR into a real world setting where you can touch things you can interact and it creates over a hyper real feel there's a vibration vest and there's a Star Wars one there's a Ralph's breaks the internet different yeah I started with ghostbusters and there are a lot of location-based VR experiences that's kind of a growing trend so we just want to see what it's like Disney style so I've never done this before it's gonna be exciting to get started we had a pic what Internet citizen we wanted to look like when we entered the virtual world and then we watched a little intro video to set the story which is that Ralph and vanellope want to take us into the Internet to play a cool game you suit up with a vest and backpack that holds all the computer components and you strap on that VR helmet Scott and I were linked so we could hear each other talking when the program began we were instantly transformed we could see our hands and each other as cartoons the small space became this cool shuttle where we could see a vast world through the windows it's incredible how quickly the void earned your trust matching the walls exactly with what animations you are seeing in VR so you're not afraid to walk around action begins quickly with challenges to keep you from getting kicked out of the Internet and if you do the wrong thing it feels like you're getting zapped but it was just vibrations coming through on the vest the journey through the internet world had us playing multiple games where sometimes things went wrong very wrong we found ourselves picking up blasters but to us it looked like pancake and milkshake launchers targeting bunnies and cats the void plays with your senses to make you believe the virtual is real it smelled like a bakery when cupcakes surrounded us you felt heat when fire broke out it was windy when we were high up in the city and the story moves so fast you may not see it all the first time through if you don't look around after about 15 minutes it was over and I was ready to jump in and to another each of the experiences vary in price costing roughly thirty dollars a person you can try it at 10 different locations in the US and Canada and if the void wants to change up the story well they just have to change the set around a bit I was like ready to take it off and go like okay where's the next theme park right I was like Anna Disney okay I'm at the park now I'll wait on in Vegas and I'm not I'm not dizzy so I could totally do it again yeah well thanks for joining us on this tour of Ralph breaks VR from Las Vegas see you on the Internet
