Interstellar Arc is a 60-minute location-based virtual reality (LBVR) experience created by Felix & Paul Studios and installed at Area15 in Las Vegas. The attraction combines narrative-driven virtual reality, full-room physical environments, and interactive effects to immerse participants in a science-fiction mission of interstellar exploration. It soft-opened in October 2025 and officially launched in November 2025.[1][2]

Concept

[edit]

Interstellar Arc places visitors aboard a fictional deep-space mission, blending VR storytelling with physical sets, spatialized audio, and environmental effects. Participants move freely through multiple rooms, interacting with virtual and real-world structures synchronized in real time.[3]

Development

[edit]

The experience was developed by Felix & Paul Studios, a Montreal-based immersive entertainment studio known for large-scale VR installations and the Space Explorers series created in partnership with NASA.[4]

Construction and installation were completed in coordination with Area15 technical partners and various Las Vegas–based contractors.[4]

Installation at Area15

[edit]

Interstellar Arc occupies a custom-built section of Area15’s District 2 expansion and integrates multiple themed environments, pre-show and post-show zones, and large-format VR stages designed for groups.[5][6]

The attraction operates as a standalone ticketed experience within the entertainment complex.[7]

Experience

[edit]

Participants embark on a guided mission lasting approximately 60 minutes, moving through physical rooms while wearing untethered VR headsets. The experience features:

  • full-room physical set extensions
  • environmental effects such as wind, lighting, and temperature variation
  • real-time spatial audio
  • large-area tracking
  • multiplayer group progression

[8][9]

Reception

[edit]

Local, industry, and national technology media have described Interstellar Arc as one of the most ambitious immersive attractions in Las Vegas.

  • WIRED described the experience as cinematic and transportive, writing that it "feels like I've been transported into a scene straight out of a science fiction movie."[10]
  • Neon Las Vegas called it “one of Las Vegas’ most imaginative experiences.”[1]
  • Travel Weekly highlighted its cinematic worldbuilding and interactive scale.[5]
  • Secret Los Angeles noted its high degree of immersion and production value.[11]

Local broadcasters, including FOX5 Las Vegas and News3 Las Vegas, covered the opening.[12][13]

The experience has also been the focus of industry discussion in outlets such as Blooloop, XRMust, and Amusement Today.[2][3][9]

Production and technology

[edit]

The experience uses Felix & Paul Studios’ proprietary cinematic VR and real-time integration tools, integrating interactive props, environmental effects, and large-area VR tracking. The installation builds upon techniques previously used in the studio's large-scale VR exhibition Space Explorers: THE INFINITE.[2]
