Immersion is the name of the game when it comes to VR – be it full-motion sim-rigs so you can play DCS World, or immersive home cinema settings to watch the latest blockbuster movies, VR is unlike anything else in how it can transport you to a different place.

True immersion in VR is real, many report feeling it fleetingly now and then but in the back of your mind, there is always that cat meowing for food or the wife watching an episode of Selling Sunset in the background.

Seeing as she is technically spoiling the immersion there shouldn’t be any huge complaints when I import this robotic, auto-spinning chair into our household then should there?

We have had chairs that spin for decades, nothing new there, but what the Roto VR does is seamlessly link to your Quest 3 and turn as you turn your head. Yes, that’s pretty cool. Need to look behind you in the game, you will feel yourself actually turning.

It’s worth noting that if you have your Quest 3 linked to your PC with a USB cable and spin around enough you could potentially garotte yourself, but we are sure the big brains in conjunction with Mark Z have thought of that.

The Roto VR is a futuristic piece of furniture that would not look totally out of place in the surgery of an evil 22nd-century dentist or if you have just been dragged into an interrogation room directly from a CIA Rendition flight.

It has full haptic rumbling for that extra immersion bump, and all joking aside, it does look like a pretty cool addition to any VR fan’s set-up – even if it does cost considerably more than the Quest 3 itself.

The chair is available to pre-order now for the princely sum of $799 and is due to start shipping in October. We have looked at VR furniture before with the Omni-One but this is the first one we have seen with the Made for Meta badge on it.
