Storm is a two-seat VR motion simulator from Triotech. Players compete using hand gesture controls while the seat moves in sync with the virtual environment. Built for arcades and family entertainment centers. Runs unattended.
Storm is a two-seat VR motion simulator from Triotech that runs on hand gesture control. Players compete head-to-head in 3.5-minute experiences across multiple difficulty levels, reaching for objects in mid-air while the seat moves in sync with the virtual environment. Wind, vibrations, and lighting effects add to the physical sensation. An overhead monitor shows what players are doing, which turns spectators into an audience.
The simulator is coin-operated and runs unattended. It occupies 50 square feet. Triotech launched Storm in 2019 as a follow-up to VR Rabbids: The Big Ride, adding hand tracking to create a competitive scoring mechanic. Press reports suggest approximately 200 units are installed globally, compared to over 1,000 for VR Rabbids. Storm sits behind VR Rabbids and King Kong of Skull Island in the VR ride simulator market.
The hand gesture system uses overhead sensors to track player movements. Players grab virtual objects by reaching into the air, creating a visible spectacle for bystanders. The gesture tracking was designed to increase social engagement around the attraction. Multiple difficulty levels and score-chasing mechanics encourage repeat play.
Storm is built for family entertainment centers, arcades, and venues looking for a compact VR attraction that can run without staff supervision. Average price per play is $6 per player. The experience lasts approximately 4 minutes total including load time. Players aged 12 to 30 are the core audience, though the competitive gameplay and accessible controls appeal to families as well.
Triotech supports the product directly in the US, along with its distributor network.
