Spaces has created a more tactile version of virtual reality.

Cinemark and Spaces team up to bring VR to San Jose movie theater

Spaces is teaming up with Cinemark Holdings to open virtual reality entertainment centers in a movie theater in San Jose, California. The idea is to give people motivation to get off their couches and be entertained in theaters in an age of Netflix and home VR.

Cinemark is one of the world’s largest movie theater chains, and it is opening a VR experience on February 8 at its Century 20 Oakridge and XD theatre in San Jose, California, at the Westfield Oakridge Shopping Center. Tickets are on sale now at Spaces.
