Hello Community!
Omniverse Launch
This month we began rolling out Omniverse to our worldwide operators. Omniverse is our proprietary VR content delivery and arcade management platform that transforms the Omni from a standalone hardware device to a complete entertainment system for commercial operators. Omniverse comes with more than 15 top VR games as well as online tools for operators to monitor and manage their arcade business in real time. See a demo video of Omniverse below, highlighting its main features:
The significance of Omniverse, a major milestone in the development of the Omni, was highlighted by several articles in the tech press. VentureBeat, Tom’s Hardware, Upload VR, and VR Focus reported on the Omniverse platform and its 15 launch titles.
Feedback from operators on the beta version of Omniverse was overwhelmingly positive, and we are now ready to roll out the platform globally. To get to know the platform, Omni operators receive 1,000 free starter minutes and five games that are free to play (Omni Arena, TRAVR – Training Ops, TRAVR – Shadow Ops, and the new titles Bow Master and Coin Rush). Contact us here if you are a commercial operator and would like more information about the Omniverse platform.

Gieffe offers various virtual reality devices in addition to traditional arcade machines.
