This does a good job explaining how a Facility could be created with several experiences going on at the same time.

Universal is Jumping In
Here is an article about Universal in Orlando opening it’s own version of the Void, Universal debutes “The Repository.”
There isn’t much mentioned about the new attraction. One key note is that the experience will be un-tethered. I believe the wireless experience will dominate V2 of the immersive experience. It’s only a matter of time and money until the technology catches up with demand.

Another Motivating Article to Support The Void
I encountered a great article describing The Void and their operation in NYC, Trippy Ghostbuster’s Experience.
All in all the Polygon folks seemed very excited. The Void guys described their plans for world domination. This is very exciting. Is Imyth a Wannabe? Sure! However. I have a hunch this is going to be big business. We may not be the first pioneers, but we can create great experiences!

This is kind of a broad, sweeping article concerning the organization called “Future Of Storytelling.”
I have not gone through all of the sub-links and articles but there is a lot of talk of combing games with traditional media but not a whole lot of substance.
See for your self :).

Improve Interactors
It looks like the cat is out of the Bag. One of these Website VR channels had an opportunity to talk with Charlie Hughes at UCF.
In the the article they constant refer to the use of interactors. More specifically the article addresses the use of “smart” puppets for controlling multiple interactors at the same time. This is very similar to what we have proposed.Check out this article, The Wizard of Oz Narrates.
