Description

Omni Arena is Virtuix’s four-player VR esports attraction built around the Omni motion platform. Players wear HTC Vive Focus 3 headsets and walk or run in place on treadmill-style devices to move through virtual environments. The physical motion requirement makes this a more active VR experience than controller-only gameplay.

The attraction includes four Omni units, a staging area with seating and screens, and a queuing app with text messaging. Each session runs 15 minutes: a pre-game show, 7 minutes of gameplay, and a post-game wrap. Virtuix records gameplay videos for social sharing, branded with your venue’s logo. The built-in flow supports 16 plays per hour with one attendant.

Omni Arena offers eight games from the Omniverse collection. Four are team-based competitive titles designed for group play and repeat visitation. Virtuix runs weekly and monthly leaderboard tournaments with a prize pool — top three players split $700 each week, and monthly winners compete for larger payouts. You can view live leaderboards at arena.virtuix.com.

The video capture system drives email registration for roughly 70 percent of players. That gives operators a marketing list. Some operators charge $12 to $18 per play. The footprint is 375 square feet.

This suits family entertainment centers, arcades, and venues with competitive gaming audiences. The physical motion and esports format differentiate it from seated or standing VR attractions.

Review from Bob Cooney's 2022/2023 VR Arcade Game Buyer's Guide:

Omni Arena from Virtuix

The Omni Arena was the first VR attraction to embrace esports. Virtuix bundled four Omni “treadmills”, which mainly appealed to hobbyists and indie arcade owners, wrapped a well-designed customer and operator experience around it, and created a true VR esports attraction. The Omni requires a player to walk and “run” to move around the environment. The competitive, active nature of the attraction makes it unlike anything else in the market. It’s a very physical manifestation of an immersive VR experience.

Virtuix runs weekly and monthly leaderboard tournaments with a $100K annual prize pool. Each week the top three players split $700, and 10 monthly winners vie for $4700. You can check out the leaderboards at https://arena.virtuix.com/ leaderboards

Omni Arena offers eight games, with four being team-based esports titles. These encourage groups to practice together, driving repeat visitation. Virtuix rotates the competition to different games weekly and monthly to keep things interesting for players.

Omni offers players their gameplay video after they’re done, which drives email registrations for 70% of players. This is a marketing goldmine for operators. I know a few operators are charging as much as $18 per play, and locations that have embraced all the capabilities of the Omni Arena have seen payback in a year.
