The use of #VRESPECTME with offenders in Catalonia has suggested that this belief can be reversed. https://t.co/n0StG3N4vs (via Twitter http://twitter.com/VRoomGlasgow/status/10 88135913463603201) RT @melslater: Perpetrators usually seem to think that their behaviour is ‘normal’.

Portal is an iconic video game. Many of us have wished for a portal gun to simply teleport from one place to another. 🕳 Portal Stories VR finally makes this wish become reality - virtual reality. 🕹 If you enjoy solving puzzles and the dark humour of Valve, make sure to tell your VR-zard during your next VRoom session that you want to give it a go! 🙌🏻

Thanks to everyone who came to our Drop-In Session yesterday! 😍 It had been great fun! 😄
As we repeatedly got asked about the systems we are using to provide the best virtual experience possible, we wanted to share a glimpse inside one of our high-end gaming PCs today. 💻🔥
Our mobile system is tiny and compact but still fits an 8GB GeForce GTX 1080, 16GB RAM and an Intel Core i5-8600k with up to 4.30 GHz. Even high demanding VR games such as Fallout 4 run smoothly on that we...e powerhouse! 😎
If you want to book it for function hire, just get in touch with us at www.vroomglasgow.co.uk! You can also buy vouchers or arrange your own session at one of our locations. 🎁🏃🏻

At the end of July, VRoom was given the amazing opportunity to offer virtual reality at the Glasgow Maker Faire. It was a community just as fascinating as it was filled with curiosity: People who enjoyed learning and loved sharing what they can do.
We were amongst other engineers, artists, scientists and crafters and gave people from all age groups the opportunity to enjoy their first VR experience. ✨
If you also want us to attend your event, please do not hesitate to get i...n touch with us: www.vroomglasgow.co.uk 😄
We are always interested in hearing about your projects, too! Are you a creator yourself? What hobbies do you pursue? You would be surprised about the various opportunities that VR has to offer for many diverse activities. Let us know if you have ideas for a partnership! 💪🏻🌟
And don’t forget our Drop-in session this Friday if you want to simply come by at “The Space” and give VR a try. We will be there from 5pm-7pm! 🎮🏃🏻

After a crazy summer with many interesting function hires & events, VRoom is now getting ready for the holiday season! 🎄🎁
For that, we are organising a DROP-IN session at “The Space” this Friday on the 7th December from 5pm-7pm. 🎮🏃🏻

Almost 2 years ago, we started as a student start-up business, but now, all our team members have graduated. 🎓 Since then, we have dedicated more time to VRoom leading to improved experiences! 🤓
We now offer more games, are in the process of buying more headsets and we have increased pay for those involved with VRoom to £9p/h following the official increase in living rent! 🎉 👾
Soon, we will share some of the amazing projects that we have been involved with over the last half a year and will introduce the "New VRoom", so make sure to stay tuned! 🙌🏻

VRoom is finally opening up its second location at “The Space” – a community venue run by the charity “People Without labels”. 🌈😍
To celebrate this, we are hosting our first Pay What You Decide Event. 🌟🙌 It is our vision at VRoom to enrich people’s experiences by expanding and inspiring both their virtual and actual reality. As we strive to be an ethical and fair co-operative social enterprise, we want to use these events to make mind-blowing perceptions accessible for everyo...ne. ✌✨
At least 15% of all revenue made during this day will go back to The Space to support their amazing work! ☮☀️
❣️ At The Space, we are finally able to also welcome children and their families again! 👪You can now select this location when booking your experience with us at www.vroomglasgow.co.uk And that’s not all We also offer function hire now where you can make your own home, event or party a VRoom! 🏠🏘 Furthermore, we are planning to also offer to run multiple systems simultaneously at The Space soon.
All these new types of bookings are accompanied by our new website design. 😁We hope you love it as much as we do. 😍
We are looking forward to see many of you on Saturday, to show you the future and to tell you more about our social projects and visions! 🎉

Press Pause to Begin! 🎮
Sometimes you need to take a break to have the capacity to be excited again. To treat yourself to new experiences that will blow your mind. 💥 VRoom had the great joy of trialing its soon to come mobile VR system for function hire at the TEDxUniversityofGlasgow launch party. 🙉 If you also want to pause the real world and begin adventures that are beyond pure imagination, make sure to book your VR session at the Flying Duck or get in touch about hiring our system for your event! ✨

New Year, New VRoom! 🎆
We hope that you have had an amazing New Year’s Eve and that you are as excited about 2018 as we are. Big plans are ahead of VRoom and we wanted to provide you with a glimpse of our exciting future! 🎉
First of all, we are purchasing a second VR system, which means that we will be offering multiplayer VR soon so that you can finally play with or against your friends and family! ... 🎮👩‍👧‍👦
Secondly, we had to move into The Flying Duck” as we are no longer able to continue our cooperation with Offshore. Although the new temporary location offers more space and is more atmospheric than the cellar in Offshore, we unfortunately cannot provide VR for anyone under 18 at the moment. Children who want to use our system have to be patient but no one has to worry!
VRoom is currently negotiating and will soon have its own permanent location which will allow drop ins and customers under 18. With our very own location, we will also act as a VR hub for game development and research (so if you have ideas for a project, please get in touch.😎) 🙌🏻
Additionally we work on creating a transportable system to bring to your own home!
We wish you all the best for your own plans. VRoom, VRoom, see you soon! 👾

What a great afternoon. Never experienced true VR before and it was genuinely fantastic. Everything was explained clearly and we had a great time. The 2 hours just flew by. Can't wait to do it again. Hopefully have the 2 player kit live by then.

Tried VR for the first time and words can’t explain it. Will be booking it again for several more virtual experiences. The mountain experience - if you get the full experience it’s breathtaking, exhilarating and also a little terrifying altogether but 100% worth it �

Great way to spend a couple of hours. Kids loved it.
