Zero Latency is a technology company that develops free-roam virtual reality systems.[1] It was founded by Tim Ruse, Scott Vandonkelaar, Kyel Smith, who are currently directors of the company, with Dean Dorrell as the chairman.[2] In August 2015, Zero Latency opened the world’s first VR entertainment venue in North Melbourne, Australia.[3][4]

History

The founders' idea to develop a free-roam virtual reality experience first emerged in 2012 following the success of Oculus Rift's kickstarter campaign,[5] and was initially tested as a single-player game called Inversion VR, in early 2013.[6][7] A prototype of Zero Latency's multiplayer free-roam virtual reality system was first demonstrated to the public at Pausefest, a digital innovation conference, in early 2014.[8][9] Following this, Zero Latency secured almost $30,000 from a crowdfunding campaign,[10] as well as a $60,000 grant from Film Victoria.[11] The company subsequently received $1 million in funding from Carthona Capital, a venture capital firm.[12][13][14] In February 2015, Zero Latency partnered with Dell's gaming division, Alienware, to provide high-performance computer hardware for use in Zero Latency's operations.[15] On 14 August 2015, Zero Latency opened its retail operations, which was the first time in history that multiplayer free-roam virtual reality became publicly available.[16] The first public game played was a simulated zombie apocalypse with four players, however the original game currently allows a maximum of eight players to play at once.[16]

Free-roam

Free-roam virtual reality allows users to move freely in an open space and not be constrained by cables and other immobile equipment.[17] Perceptual tricks such as "Change Blindness Redirection" are used in free-roam virtual reality to create the illusion of a virtual environment larger than what is physically available.[17] Zero Latency employs these perceptual tricks at its 400m2 venue in North Melbourne to allow players to travel between 700m and 1 km during a standard game session.[5]

Motion capture technology is used to track the physical location of players, which allows the in-game virtual location of players' avatars to be generated accurately.[9] It took several years to develop the software and hardware allowing players' physical movements to be instantly replicated by their in-game avatars.[18][19] Proximity sensors are used to warn players of hazards and prevent players from leaving the physical play area.[16] Zero Latency also uses haptic feedback techniques (e.g. using fans to generate wind) to increase immersion.[20][21]

Products

Zero Latency operates virtual reality gaming venues in North Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and Newstead, Queensland, Australia which are available to ticket holders aged 13 or older.[22][28] The company also sells its systems to businesses requiring free-roam virtual reality applications.[11] Due to their cost and complexity, Zero Latency's systems are not ideal for private use.[23][24] Instead, they are intended to be used as public virtual gaming spaces or theme park attractions.[12][23][25] Zero Latency has also partnered with a real estate group to offer virtual house inspections.[26]
