This Wednesday, August 11, rue Saint-Hubert in Thionville, a stone’s throw from the Bel-Air hospital, within the Clic café, two young people, helmets on their heads, wave their arms, joysticks in hand. The scene may seem funny but, alongside them, several of them give directions or give encouragement, their eyes riveted on a screen retransmitting the image broadcast through the headphones. “This afternoon we are offering an introduction to virtual reality (also called VR)”, explains Pierre-André Gondrexon, president of the Lana France association. “This is an approach that is carried out in partnership with the Maison des Quartiers de Thionville. Throughout the summer, we offered six meetings for young people in the sector. The idea being to discover the world of video games, obviously, but also to find oneself. “There were two ‘introduction to VR’ afternoons, like this one, and four Saturdays where the evening was devoted to free video games. The next meeting (which will also be the last, Editor’s note) is scheduled for August 21. “

Events that have met with some success. “Each evening, there were always more people, it’s really good news. “And for good reason, since Lana France’s desire remains to promote a passion, but also to supervise it. “This year, it’s a first contact intended to show that it can be of interest. In the end, the objective for us is to develop places of practice for more recurring activities, all at the same time as prevention, to bet on the social dimension of video games. In addition we would like to offer young people to train them in e-sports commentary. “

Before we get there, on the players side, the afternoon seems to work rather. Jasmine, at the height of her 11 years, leaves her place in the helmet. For her, VR is “a first and I really like it. It’s a strange feeling to find yourself in the game. It changes the console with a controller, ”she concludes before leaving for a game.
