Virtual Room Sydney

We had our works christmas party in Sydney yesterday and we were treated to nearly an hour in The Virtual Room at 393 George St. Don't know if you have been there but I was blown away, particularly "on the Moon"
Well worth the visit with a group.

Is that where they filmed the Moon landing?
I would love to go there, the virtual room that is.
It would be a bit trippy with a few beers I imagine.

Thank Peter for your kindness.

I don't know how to explain to folk how good I can visualise.
I can create virtual reality.
A big help, rehearsing a race, building a universe, to visit ancestors as I could imagine them...Aunty
Lucy.
Wish I could download it straight to video.
Feeling good, made appt, can handle anything back to normal.

So rather than work taking you all on a an actual real world team building experience they dump you in a game so management dont catch diseases from the peasants. Sounds like the gov dept i work in doing their video conference call in morning tea everyone had to bring their own food too. Anything to ensure the execs dont speak to the staff in person or they have to pay for any catering for. pathetic.

Ha, now this is really funny, thanks for the laugh.
Nope, the directors were there in my team, paid for flights to and from Sydney back to Gold Coast. 1 hour in Virtual Room then rest of the afternoon nosh up at a fabulous lunch at a Brazilian restaurant at Darling Harbour and the drinks did flow way into the night.
Sounds like you need a new job in 2018.
I thought government jobs supplied free biscuits...ah well.

Was pure enjoyment and a T-Rex can be brought down with bow & arrow, well lots of arrows and nerves of steel.

We in SEQLD have Holoverse recently opened at Southport.
Must have a squizz at that.
