Step into a future where stars are within reach and art comes to life.

Albany’s ZONE 518 is now home to Verse Immersive, the world’s first holographic theater, offering a groundbreaking interactive entertainment experience.

Located at 21 Erie Blvd, Verse Immersive combines cutting-edge augmented reality technology with digital storytelling to create two unique experiences: “Star Walk” and “Art of the Future.”

While virtual reality (VR) immerses you fully into a digital world, cutting off the physical surroundings, augmented reality (AR) enhances your real-world experience by overlaying digital elements onto it.

Tickets for Verse Immersive’s “Star Walk” and “Art of the Future” can be purchased online through the official ticket partner, Fever.

The “Star Walk” experience transports visitors to the cosmos, with holographic planets, stars and asteroids. Using AR glasses, guests can interact with these celestial bodies as they journey through space accompanied by Beethoven’s music.

Each session lasts about 20 minutes and costs $29.50, including the AR headset.

The “Art of the Future” experience brings digital art to life with more than 25 holographic pieces across three virtual levels. Visitors can explore works by renowned artists, emerging talents and AI-generated creations.

Each session lasts about 20 minutes and costs $29.50, the same as “Star Walk.”

A combined ticket for both “Star Walk” and “Art of the Future” is available for $49.50.

The venue is open Fridays through Sundays, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
