Disney Announces Star Wars Themed VR Attraction Opening Later This Year
Lucasfilm's immersive entertainment division, ILMxLAB, along with The Void, are introducing a new virtual reality attraction called Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire that is coming to certain Disney resorts. Described as a "hyper reality" experience, Disney explains that it will allow fans to "move freely in an untethered, social, and multi-sensory experience, including interaction with friends, fans, and Star Wars characters."
At this time, it's unclear exactly what the experience will entail or what kind of Star Wars story it will tell outside of it being presented in VR. The attraction is coming both Downtown Disney and Disney Springs this holiday season.
