Star Trek’s Holodeck is a reality — and it’s in London.

A new local business called Dreamland Virtual Reality will offer customers the chance to battle aliens in a menacing space ship, take a race car around the track against competition, or just go on that exotic vacation you’ve always wanted, without ever leaving home.

The Wellington Road business is opening a 2,400-square-foot virtual reality space.

“Dreamland is a virtual reality paradise,” said Chad Boutros, the owner of Cellular Magician who invested more than $1 million in the new business.

“You can have any experience you can want. We want to create an arena and give people the ability to walk freely.”

Up to eight players can use Dreamland at the same time, walking wirelessly through the space. A new game, or “experience,” will be launched every six weeks, and several different types will be offered at the same time.

“We will appeal to everyone in London,” said Boutros. “There is a strong development community here. You will be able to swim through an ocean or visit another country — anything you can imagine.”
