What Do People Think of Immersia XR? Real Reactions
The best way to understand an immersive experience is through the reactions of people who have actually been. Immersia XR at Waterloo Station generates strong responses because the experience is genuinely different from what most visitors expect.
Common Reactions
Surprise. The most frequent initial reaction is surprise. Visitors arrive expecting something similar to a VR headset demo or a projected art show, and discover they are physically walking through a fully realised story world. The gap between expectation and reality creates a genuine moment of wonder.
Emotional engagement. Story-led experiences create emotional responses that gaming VR typically does not. Visitors describe feeling moved by the Moon Landing experience, delighted by Alice in Wonderland, and transported by Tales of Aladdin.
Desire to return. With six different stories available, many visitors immediately want to try another experience. The variety means return visits offer genuinely different content.
Family connection. Parents consistently highlight the value of sharing the experience with their children rather than watching from the side. Walking through a story together creates conversation and memories that last beyond the visit.
Who Enjoys It Most
Based on visitor feedback:
- Families with children aged 5-12 — the story-led format and accessibility make it ideal
- Couples seeking unique date experiences — different from cinema or dining
- First-time VR users — the gentle pacing and story focus makes it less intimidating than gaming VR
- Grandparents with grandchildren — accessible for all fitness levels, shared experience across generations
