The Fraser-Fort George Regional Museum in Prince George, British Columbia,
had a Virtual Reality display last summer. The museum is a relatively
small, mainly science and natural history museum. The VR exhibit
contained games for visitors to pay (for a small, additional fee per time
period). I do not know much more about the VR display, as I did not go
through it myself. I am currently a volunteer at the museum, so would be
able to find out more information or to put you in contact with somebody
who does know more.
