New York doesn’t get impressed easily.
We bring VR headset rentals and full-service VR activations to events across the five boroughs: corporate parties in Midtown, product demos in the Flatiron District, trade show booths at the Javits Center, brand activations in Williamsburg, and team offsites out in Long Island City. Whether you’re planning something for 40 people or 4,000, we scale the setup to match.
Everything You Need for VR at Your New York City Event
What’s included. You can rent equipment only if your team wants to run the show, or bring in one of our trained on-site technicians to handle setup, guest flow, and breakdown from start to finish. Either way, you’re choosing from more than 4,000 room-scale VR experiences and 40,000+ 360° VR experiences, everything from art installations like Tilt Brush to competitive games like Space Pirate Trainer to calmer, browsable content that works well for older or less tech-comfortable guests.
Why companies keep booking us for NYC events. We’re selective about who works your event. We hire under 1% of the technicians who apply, and every one of them trains specifically on guest flow, not just hardware. That matters more in New York than almost anywhere else. With high-volume events and tight timelines, a technician who can keep a line moving is worth more than one who just knows how to reset a headset.
How it works. Tell us your venue, your headcount, and what you’re hoping VR does for the event: a centerpiece attraction, or one of several. We’ll build a recommendation around that instead of handing you a generic package. From there we handle sourcing, delivery, setup, and staffing if you want it, plus a check-in with you on the day.

Well, I had so much fun!"

"VR really captured my attention and got me participating, I love it! If more and more events are going to have virtual reality as part of their program, I'd say I'll be a happy attendee in each event."
