Interstellar Arc is a 60-minute location-based virtual reality (LBVR) experience created by Felix & Paul Studios and installed at Area15 in Las Vegas. The attraction utilizes narrative-driven virtual reality, physical sets, and environmental effects to depict a science-fiction mission of interstellar exploration. It soft-opened in October 2025 and officially launched in November 2025.[1][2]

Concept

Interstellar Arc places visitors aboard a fictional deep-space mission, blending VR storytelling with physical sets, spatialized audio, and environmental effects. Participants move freely through multiple rooms, interacting with virtual and real-world structures synchronized in real time.[3]

Development

The experience was developed by Felix & Paul Studios, a Montreal-based immersive entertainment studio known for large-scale VR installations and the Space Explorers series created in partnership with NASA.[4]

Construction and installation were completed in coordination with Area15 technical partners and various Las Vegas–based contractors.[4]

Installation at Area15

Interstellar Arc occupies a custom-built section of Area15’s District 2 expansion and integrates multiple themed environments, pre-show and post-show zones, and large-format VR stages designed for groups.[5][6]

Experience

Participants embark on a guided mission lasting approximately 60 minutes, moving through physical rooms while wearing untethered VR headsets.

The experience utilizes a combination of physical and digital assets to facilitate group movement. Technical elements include full-room physical set extensions synchronized with the virtual environment, real-time spatial audio, and large-area tracking systems. The narrative is structured around multiplayer group progression, allowing participants to move through the physical space as a collective.
