Cineplex says it’s adding at least five more immersive, virtual-reality experience centres in Canada over the next several years.
The Void Experience Centres combine virtual reality technology and sensory effects, like touch and smell, to give users an immersive experience incorporating movie franchises, like Star Wars and Ghostbusters.
Cineplex already operates one of the centres at its Toronto Rec Room location and says the second will open at its West Edmonton Mall location.
