LAI Games is teaming up with Ubisoft to give the location-based VR community insight into the creation of the unattended VR attraction, Virtual Rabbids: The Big Ride, according to a press release.

At last week's VR LBE Summit, Shannon Perell, LAI Games vice president of research and development, and Melanie de Riberolles, Ubisoft's new business director and project lead for Virtual Rabbids, discussed the challenges in creating a paradigm-shifting, unattended VR product that would offer a seamless experience to a wide audience.

Summit attendees could participate on a desktop computer or in virtual reality, where exhibitors and attendees mixed and mingled using avatars, with the ability to speak to one another and act out basic motions such as clapping. Attendees walked the exhibit hall and visited exhibitor booths or attend presentations in the auditorium.
