We will have our device out, with our VR equipment. Visitors will have the option to try to balance the test game if the visitors fit within the size requirements. They will step onto the device and be attached to a safety harness. They will have the ability to make a user profile and then progress with the game. As the game is in progress they will be attempting to keep their balance while collecting gems to gain points and avoiding obstacles. The game has an Indiana Jones-like adventure theme which levels representing an exploration into a forgotten tomb, riding the rapids down a river, and riding a minecart through a cave. After the level is complete, they will be given a score and balance assessment and will be able to put their score on a leaderboard.
