Sega Amusements International Ltd. has introduced VR Agent, an attendant free, coin-operated virtual reality game, according to a press release.

The VR headset is fused to the gun controller, making it viable for arcades or family entertainment centers. The controller lowers instantly, allowing the player to get into the action and be lifted at the end.

The player's mission is to take down enemies using a range of weapons. Players can deploy into four missions, each with increasing difficulty. The "continue" feature encourages instant repeat-play, letting players master their marksmanship skills.

The cabinet features LED-lit edge lighting and a fully lit header. The two 50-inch vertical screens encourage spectators to watch the action while players enjoy the immersive VR experience. The air cannon jolts players when they get hit by the enemy, adding a tactile element to the experience.
