WhatIsVRLabBrussels {Main}

VRLab is an itinerant lab (with its own physical space as of February 2016) bringing enthusiasts of Virtual Reality in and around Brussels together. The principle is to foster discovery of virtual reality by trying and building. The VR Lab Brussels is thus an enabler, bringing hardware and software of virtual reality together to make participants build what they have in mind.

Where is VRLab Brussels?

  • World Trade Center, 25th floor at F/LAT
    • 28-30 boulevard Albert II, Brussels, Brussels

Easy to reach using public transport and with an impressive view, even though not as impressive as VR ;)

Please note than if you arrive after 7pm or during the weekend you will have to pass through security using the Rue Willem De Mol entrance. Your name must be on the RSVP list else you will not be granted access.

See here an example on how to reach this entrance from Gare du Nord, the north station deserved by trains, buses, public bike stations and trams.

Curious on how to get there inside the building? Trying our on-going 360/VR experience.

Please also note that parking is available only during week days and before 7pm. Outside of those hours it's recommended to find a spot on the NorthWest of the tower, in direction of the canal.
