Brooklyn’s VR Demo Trips in Dumbo

Dumbo warped last night with Brooklyn’s VR Demo Night, jacking NYC’s spring into cyberspace. Techie Jay Patel strapped on headsets as 200 tripped, a $20 ticket dive into pixels. It’s borough bits—pure BK vibe, screens hot. A kid fought a dragon; a pro toured Mars. ‘Brooklyn sees—this is it,’ Patel says, tweaking rigs. The loft turned portal.

The demo’s fresh—March 24’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing floors by 7 p.m. Patel’s a Williamsburg coder; last night’s crowd hit max—goggles glowed. A latecomer nabbed a slot; cords tangled—NYC grit shone. Runs one night—VR ruled. #BKVR trended; Queens wants a lens.

Some griped—’Too dizzy,’ sniped a newbie, dodging nausea. Power surged—fixed fast; worlds held. A rival’s pitching a Bushwick trip, splitting headsets. Still, 250 stayed—pixels reigned. Dumbo’s never jacked so bold.

Patel’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s future—this shows it,’ he says, packing gear. The demo’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets grid. It’s a VR rush; catch the next. Bring a stomach—realms call.
