Basically, because a modern game console and TV has equally good graphics.
Sony is fooling around with location-based entertainment again.[1] Might work.
There are some one-offs in Dubai and China. But nothing seems to scale.
The Void [2] did some nice location-based VR systems around 2018. A group of people in VR goggles are in a big room, and can move around. The tracking system keeps the virtual and real worlds in sync. There are props you see in VR and touch in the real world. Seems to be inactive now.
Disney tried that Star Wars themed hotel experience LARP. Cost more than a cruise on a real ship. Had to be dumbed down to theme park customer level. Huge flop.
The military has the best immmersive themed experiences. The US Navy has Battle Stations 21, with a convincingly real looking full sized ship in a big building near Chicago.[3] It's the final exam for new recruits, with fires to fight and flooding to plug.
