You don't need a lot of space to enjoy virtual reality gaming, but a good chair certainly can elevate the experience. That's where Roto is aiming to make a mark, as it recently unveiled what it calls the first gaming chair designed specifically for Meta Quest headsets. Made in partnership with Meta, the Roto VR Explorer is designed to take advantage of the "look and turn" technology in Quest VR headsets. In a nutshell, this allows you to move around a VR environment more seamlessly, a feature that does work well considering that the Quest headsets are wireless. The downside here is that the system doesn't work too smoothly if you're seated, and flicking the analogue stick for quick turns can be jarring. With the Roto VR Explorer chair, you've got a secure seat with 360-degree movement, allowing you to quickly move around environments without having to worry about accidentally booting a pet.The other cool feature is that the chair has a built-in rumble pack, allowing it to sync with a dongle connected to your headset, register actions, and send a jolt from the base through your entire body. Roto says the gaming chair is compatible with over 400 games and apps from the Meta Quest store, and for build quality, it has back supports, adjustable seat height, a footrest, cable management, and a high-quality leather finish. It even has a modular design that supports a range of accessories, if you own them.Continue Reading at GameSpot...
