Company: The Void

The Void is a company for creating mixed reality entertainment attractions. Co-founded by businessman Ken Bretschneider as a re-focusing of a plan to build an attraction in Pleasant Grove, Utah, and described by some as being a virtual reality "theme park", these facilities feature virtual reality experiences leveraging a combination of head-mounted displays with motion tracking, haptic feedback and special effects systems to allow patrons to freely explore and interact with virtual settings within the confines of specially-designed environments.

此娱乐设施让客人们亲身体验真实的反叛军与帝国军的战争，他们必须伪装成冲锋队潜入位于穆斯塔法的帝国设施来完成一项秘密任务。

Story background

An urgent message from Captain Cassian Andor informs four Rebel operatives that they need to take his place on a mission to Mustafar to steal a powerful weapon from the Galactic Empire. Disguising themselves as Stormtroopers, the operatives land on the planet's surface with the help of K-2SO.

The experience lasts over the duration of the mission as they infiltrate an Imperial facility in search of the weapon.

卡西安安道尔上尉发来紧急消息，通知四个叛军特工（顾客），他们需要代替他去穆斯塔法执行一项任务，从银河帝国窃取一件强大的武器。他们需要伪装成冲锋队，在K-2SO的帮助下完成任务。

Story Plot

PLOT1

When guests first enter the briefing room, they meet Captain Cassian Andor via a video transmission. He informs them that he has discovered that a weapon of great power is being held by the Empire on a base on Mustafar. He cannot personally go in search of it because his position has been compromised, so he sends the four guests — taking on the role of Rebel operatives — in his place.

当客人第一次进入简报室时，他们会通过视频与卡西安安道尔上尉见面。他告诉客人，他发现帝国在穆斯塔法的一个基地持有一件威力巨大的武器。他不能亲自去寻找它，因为他已经被帝国全面监视，所以他派四名叛军特工（客人）代替他前去完成任务。

PLOT2

Guests then enter an Imperial transport, joined by K-2SO and the ship's pilot, Athex. The team proceeds to Mustafar through hyperspace. The Imperial base is not happy to learn of the ship's arrival and demands the ship land for inspection.

随后，客人们进入了一辆帝国运输船，随行的还有K-2SO和飞船的驾驶员Athex。他们通过超空间到达穆斯塔法。帝国基地发现这艘船有些蹊跷，要求这艘船接受检查。

PLOT3

After infiltrating the base with the aid of a hover platform, the four Rebels find a rack of blasters, only to have their presence detected. After escaping the facility, the Rebels are trapped outside, where they have to contend with attacking Stormtroopers and hostile beasts from the planet's surface.

在一个悬停平台的掩护下，四名特工靠近了基地并发现了一堆炸药，却不小心暴露了他们的行踪。特工们被困在了基地外面，他们必须打败支援来的帝国的暴风兵。

PLOT4

Eventually they're able to find their way back into the facility, and discover the weapon mentioned by Captain Andor: an ancient lightsaber of unknown origin. The Rebels are then ambushed by even more Imperial troops, but thanks to some quick action taken by K-2SO they are able to escape with their lives and make the jump to hyperspace. 

最终，他们找到了进入基地的路，并发现了安道尔上尉提到的武器:一把来历不明的古老光剑。特工们随后遭到了更多帝国军队的伏击，但多亏了k -2SO的帮助，他们得以逃脱，并跃入超空间。

Gameplay

The players are first met in a small room which holds a screen and provides the mission briefing. Then are then directed to a bay where they strap on a VR headset and backpack.

Guests all appear as Stormtroopers, with individually colored Pauldrons and hand armor. The experience tracks guests' individual fingers without the need for external controllers. The blasters that guests interact with have two triggers, but only the main trigger is used during the experience.

The Void platform utilizes physical sets, locations, and objects that map directly to the digital environments that guests see in their headsets — so if there is a wall, guests can touch it, and if they see a chair, they can actually sit down in it. In addition, The Void incorporates sensory feedback like haptic vibrations, smell, and heat to bring the virtual environments and characters to life.

玩家们首先在一个小房间里与上尉会面，房间里有一个屏幕，提供任务简介。然后被领到下一个场景，在那里他们系上VR头盔和背包。

所有的客人都以暴风兵的身份参与行动，穿着各自颜色的护甲和手甲。这种设备不需要外部控制器就可以跟踪客人的单个手指。客人接触到的武器有两个传感器，但在体验过程中只使用主传感器。

这个平台利用了物理设备、位置和物体，直接映射到客人在耳机中看到的数字环境中——因此，如果有一面墙，客人可以触摸它，如果他们看到一把椅子，他们可以真正地坐在里面。此外，The Void还融入了感官反馈，如触觉振动、气味和灼热感，使虚拟环境和角色非常真实。
