Mind over matter: networking, themeing and games which appeal to different emotions are central to the future success of virtual reality
Article Abstract:
Interactive entertainment is one of virtual reality's (VR) strongest markets and entertainment centre operators are looking into the installation of pay-for-play VR game systems. Location based entertainment (LBE) embraces interactive technology becoming a new category of public entertainment. LBE centres usually have a central theme and most VR products feature networking enabling players to pit their skills against other people rather than a computer. The growing success of VR will depend engaging storylines which harness the power and capabilities of the technology.

Article Abstract:
Leisure industry operators considering offering packaged snacks should be aware of the importance of ensuring that they purchase a safe and saleable product. Pre-made sandwiches, for example, require very high standards of food safety control, and it is vital to check the supplier thoroughly. The best approach is to work in partnership with the supplier to improve efficiency, thus maximising sales for both sides.
