Seattle’s annual PAX West 2016 gaming convention starts tomorrow with VR once again expected to have a significant presence. So, here’s a reference guide on where to find VR on the show floor along with some handy expo floor maps to ease your itinerary planning.

PAX West returns to Seattle this September 2-5 at the Washington State Convention Center, and this year, virtual reality will be more prominent than ever. In addition to a large number of VR exhibitors, PAX will have talks dedicated to VR as well as a new “VR Freeplay” area. The freeplay area, located away from the main convention center on the 4th floor of the Seattle Westin, will be open throughout the long weekend and will have both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive available to try out.

To make things easier for VR-inclined PAX attendees, we’ve compiled a list of where you can experience VR at PAX West 2016. Booth locations are provided in brackets, and the headsets available are in parenthesis. The devices listed are what will be available to demo at that booth, but not necessarily the full list of supported headsets. We will update this list as PAX rolls on, so let us know about any omissions in the comments below. Finally, check further down for high resolution maps of the show floor and opening times.
