About This Video
This testimonial features David Bipo, owner of Zero Latency New Orleans, located in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. Bipo uses the video to describe what convinced him to invest in a free-roam virtual reality venue and how he built the location to fit the city. The investment thesis began with a personal experience. After receiving an Oculus Quest in 2020 and putting it on for the first time, Bipo concluded that virtual reality was something everyone should experience. He started looking for a way to deliver that experience to a group of friends in a large space, and his search led him to Zero Latency. He positions Zero Latency as the top virtual reality experience in the world. Players run around in a shared physical space while seeing and hearing each other inside the game. Bipo describes the format as accessible to everyone, generally suitable for ages ten and up, and frames the immersion as the brand's distinguishing feature — the experience makes it easy to forget you are running around a room. City fit drove the investment decision. Bipo describes New Orleans as a city with a deep cultural and historical past that deserves a futuristic entertainment offering. He has lived there for about twelve years, and that local connection shaped how he built the space. The build-out leans on brick, exposed walls, exposed wood, and other natural materials common to New Orleans, so the venue reads as part of the neighborhood rather than a generic franchise box. Reception has been positive. Bipo describes a strong opening response and plans to bring his own family — including his dad — to experience the venue. The closing message frames the joy of seeing players run around the play space for about 25 minutes as the part of the work that shifts a customer's day. For prospects evaluating immersive-entertainment franchises, the New Orleans location demonstrates how Zero Latency adapts to local market context. Bipo's investment story — personal-VR-experience to operator-license — is also the most common acquisition path the brand attracts.
