VR Zone Setup Guide
Everything you need to know about setting up a VR gaming zone in India - space, equipment, power, and operations.
Space Requirements
| VR Type | Space Needed | Players | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standalone VR Pod | 4x4 ft per unit | 1 player | No tracking setup needed |
| Roomscale VR | 10x10 ft per arena | 1 player | Requires ceiling sensors |
| VR Arena (Walking) | 15x15 ft minimum | 1-2 players | Backpack PC + wireless |
| Multi-Player VR Arena | 20x20 ft | 4-8 players | Needs isolation barriers |
Pro tip: Add 30% extra space for walkways, waiting area, and safety buffers.
Electrical Requirements
| Component | Power Draw | Outlet Type |
|---|---|---|
| VR Headset + PC | 500-800W per station | Individual 15A outlet |
| VR Arena (Full) | 3-5 kW per arena | Dedicated 32A circuit |
| Cooling/AC | 1.5-2 tons per 200 sqft | Separate circuit |
| Lighting & Sound | 500W-1kW | Shared 15A |
⚡ Critical: Always have a UPS for VR PCs! Sudden power cuts can damage hardware and corrupt game data.
Cooling & Climate Control
VR zones generate significant heat from gaming PCs and active players. Plan for:
- 1.5-2 tons AC per 200 sqft of play area
- Target temperature: 22-24°C (players in VR get warm quickly)
- Good ventilation to prevent headset fogging
- Separate AC circuit from gaming equipment
