Arcade Arena is a new entrant into the social multiplayer gaming in a box category I called Mixed Reality Arenas (for lack of a better name.) It was built by an operator in Minnesota and will make their industry debut at IAAPA Orlando. It combines three projector screens with LIDAR sensors for touch tracking, machine vision for body tracking, and old school game controllers with monitors to added gameplay flexibility.

The arcade controllers means some people play in the arena and some play on the outside, increasing capacity to 10-players at a time. It’s advertised as unattended, but that can mean different things to someone new to the industry.They recommend 90-minute sessions, which means this is an attraction that would require advanced booking. They currently have 7 games with more on the way.
