A new gaming center has opened its doors in Melbourne, Australia, and it's not quite your typical after-school haunt. This place, called Zero Latency (https://www.zerolatencyvr.com/), offers true immersive virtual reality experience: if you want to kill zombies, you'll literally have to walk/run around, aim and shoot a VR gun. CNET (http://www.cnet.com/news/zero-latency-vr-entertainment-revolution-begins-melbourne-australia/) got to try it out before launch and found that the center uses a 4,300-square-foot warehouse covered in a white-grid pattern and equipped with 129 PlayStation Eye cameras. One session can have up to six players, each one fitted with a backpack that houses an Alienware Alpha PC, which renders the environment for the users' Oculus Rift DK2 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/23/oculus-rift-dk2-virtual-reality-now-shipping/) headsets.
