Experience the Future of Free-Roam XR at IAAPA Europe 2025

VIVE Team • Sept. 12, 2025

5 minutes read

Europe’s largest gathering of the attraction and immersive entertainment industry - IAAPA Europe 2025 - is right around the cornerFrom adrenaline-boosting Zombie shooters to eSports contests, there’s no better place to showcase the best that multi-user Location-Based VR and XR Experiences have to offer – and this year, it’s coming to the streets of Barcelona.  

Power up with HTC VIVE 

At HTC VIVE, we’re gearing up for a showcase of how our optimised XR hardware and dedicated Location-Based Software Suite (LBSS) come together to make LBE experiences not only enjoyable for visitors – but easy to deploy for operators around the world. Join us and our esteemed partners including Zero Latency, VEX Solutions and HOLOGATE for an action-packed week of adventure. 

Building technology that unleashes human imagination is in our DNA. That’s why we’ve developed the most comprehensive suite of solutions to power LBE experiences, and our platform has been adopted by many organisations over the world – from VR arcades to museums and cultural institutions. Combining durable hardware capable of high-turnover usage like VIVE Focus 3 and VIVE Focus Vision headsets with our LBSS software is bringing LBE to life at scale.  

Today, operators can have venues that are big or small, for single players or even have 120 users at a single time, all roaming in the same space together of up to 1,000 square meters - and can even have multiple different experiences running concurrently. And by pushing the boundaries of tracking technology, physical props and objects can also be easily brought into an LBE environment and tracked accurately for deeper immersion.  
 
From high intensity gaming, to arts and culture and even enterprise training, LBE is reshaping how people learn, interact and explore.
