The first ever "Made for Meta" VR chair is here. The Roto VR Explorer was made in partnership between Meta and Roto and hopes to provide a new innovative way to sit in virtual reality with a patented "Look & Turn" feature that aims to enhance the motorized 360 degree seated experience. Roto describes the haptics as "full body" and the VR Explorer is available for pre-order starting today at $799. Check out this trailer for the chair.

Roto VR Explorer includes:

• Roto VR’s proprietary Look & Turn technology intuitively rotates users to where they look, solving the problems of 360º viewing, locomotion and motion sickness
• A built-in rumble pack that provides haptic feedback through the whole body, adding tangible immersion
• Developed for Meta Quest headsets and compatible with all seated VR experiences
• Fully compatible with over 400+ games and apps available from the Meta Quest store
• High quality leather seat with back supports, adjustable seat height and a footrest for 360º comfort
• Cable management solution and smart charging
• Modular in design and supports a range of accessories, adding functionality for different types of game set-ups (sold separately)

Pre-orders are live now at Roto VR's official website, and the $799 chairs will begin shipping in October 2024.
