The experience is a product of The Void, a Utah-based startup. While the approach allowed The Void to deploy the Ghostbusters: Dimension experience relatively early, it came online as Oculus and HTC started shipping improved consumer hardware.

Currently available on the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and accessible via PC, you can build up to 3 of your own worlds — and after that, Sansar charges a $9.99+/month fee depending on how many worlds you want to build.
