      Diana, you might consider licensing/franchising the setup from Awesome Rocketship. They've really nailed the "location-based VR" opportunity, which is a pretty challenging but potentially lucrative business. To do it right, one needs to consider:

      • the hardware (Vive, Oculus, Sony, with or without hand controllers, 1 or 2 positional sensors, scale of user experience, etc...);
      • Software for managing the system/business;
      • remote systems mgmt capabilities if you don't want to be there 24/7;
      • playlist creation/curation VERSUS a pure hardware rental scenario;
      • ecommerce integration if going the curation route;
      • also consider the security for paid content;
      • HMD hygiene;
      • IT / maintenance;
      • staffing(?);
      • negotiation with content providers;
        -probably lots of more issues I can't think of.

      Yet with all of these challenges, a well run VR salon could become a larger revenue generator than a local movie theater VERY FAST considering the way first-time users consistently react. I hope you do it!
