OMG We are on Forbes! VR & LBE
To be featured on Forbes in an article on LBVR by the expert @Charlie Fink is like... It is like... It is Amazing!
It is a long article, so I've made a - completely objective, of course! - selection to highlight the best bites.
Free Roam VR
" [...] Free roam VR is the only true VR available to consumers today. Users are fully immersed, present in the form of an avatar, as are the others in the simulation, and can walk naturally in a virtual world, with full agency, freedom of movement and interaction.

A different approach on LBVR by BackLight
" [...] A different approach is being taken by BackLight, a VR studio based in Paris. They’ve rolled out a unique, long-form VR experience, Eclipse, that casts users as rescuers of a spaceship (why does everything take place in space?) that has lost power and is about to be pulled into a sun.
We discover the crew is dead and must explore the ship to unravel the puzzle and reactive the ship before we are sucked into the deadly fireball. Wearing a backpack PC, four users are free to roam the ship, but are forced to cooperate with the other people in the simulation.

Players discover two spaceships during their adventure, without teleporting once.
Our idea was to take advantage of the hardware while offering an interesting solution for LBVR in terms of value for money.” Said Frédéric Lecompte, co-founder of BackLight.
The Eclipse experience can be found in two locations in France. Other European locations will be announced shortly. [...]"
