Spacebar Arcade

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: The Yarn Corporation

Home: California, United States

Spacebar Arcade is a Virtual Reality saloon arcade set in the wild west of cyberspace. You enter this virtual world by way of a real-world 16-foot-tall arcade cabinet. Play on the "outside" using game pads and the giant screen, or don a VR headset to go inside the Spacebar with your friends and family. Inside, one can find a variety of low-gravity games and digital refreshments to enjoy with the other patrons. You might find our ornery A.I. barkeep, Cyberspace Sam. The physical cabinet and the virtual game were both designed and built by creative technologist (and lifelong maker), Sam Mateosian, in his San Carlos garage studio with the assistance of his two daughters, various friends, and helpful neighbors. It was first exhibited at the Augmented World Expo Playground in June 2024.
