Cabinet Information
This cabinet is extremely unique in that there is no control panel. All user input is done via two pistol grip handles attached to the bottom of the VR goggles. The VR goggles are attached to the top of the cabinet by a weighted boom which accomodates players of various sizes. The side art is printed on paper and is covered with Lexan and screwed on - further reinforcing my belief that this was a development machine that never made it to market.
