Ctrl V Virtual Reality Arcade is one step closer to opening its first location in Plano.
The Plano Planning and Zoning Commission approved a permit at its March 21 meeting that, pending final City Council approval, would allow the company to open a new location at 3000 Custer Road, Ste. 250, in the Parkwood Square shopping center. If approved, husband-and-wife owners Beth and Shawn Reynolds would operate the new Plano arcade.
In a presentation to the commission, the couple explained the location will allow customers to rent out equipment and a space to use the virtual reality gaming technology and have full access to the various game types. The company describes virtual reality as a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with by using a headset and controller gaming device. All equipment will be provided by Ctrl V, and users will have a designated play area with padded foam walls to create a safe playing space, the company presentation stated.
“I think it's a concept that is very attractive that is certainly on the cutting edge of a lot of things going on,” Commissioner Michael Bronsky said during the meeting. “I think it's going to be a very large positive in this area.”
