The Virtual Pod actually functioned quite similarly to the VR Capsule I was more familiar with.
The only difference was that I did not need to put on a helmet while in the pod. Instead, their version simply had you lay down on what I could only describe as a bean bag within the pod itself though I was sure it wasn't beans inside that bag.
When the pod closed up, I felt myself sinking even further into the bean bag and when I next blinked, I found myself in the virtual world.
Wow, just like that? There wasn't even a boot up sequence.
Looking down at myself, it seemed like they made our avatars look like they were wearing an armoured suit with a full face helmet covering my face. I felt a little wasted that they didn't give us a transformation sequence where I would put something on my belt and shout "Henshin!" or something.
It felt kind of cool, not gonna lie.
