Here are a few companies that offer rentals nationwide.New York-based Amusitronix—the self-proclaimed “virtual reality guys”—specializes in high-tech interactive games, motion thrill rides, and simulators ranging from golf to race car driving. The company can also create custom virtual-reality games that feature corporate logos (like a branded virtual-reality surfing game they created for a Citibank event). Prices vary by game, and delivery fees depend on location.
