Got it! If it's a home installation system that you have in mind, we think that with the money she's pooled together and donations from other Displaced, she'd be able to accumulate enough credits to purchase one. The home systems are still pricey (much like they are today), but not completely outside the realm of affordability.
That amount of space should be enough to allocate, and we'd like to give you some info about the sorts of games that would be available. The basic thing to keep in mind is that the games would have to be contained to what would be possible with something standing in a 10'x10' space. So VR skydiving or something like that wouldn't really be feasible, for instance. The VR of this time is definitely a lot more immersive than modern-day VR because it's hooked into the neural implant, giving players a much more realistic experience. Their senses can be tricked and stimulated, but ultimately they're never going to forget that they're in a game. The system will also be able to track all of their movements, so things like ducking, jumping, and even crawling can be taken into account -- so long as it's possible within the designated play area.
Also, El would be happy to help with setup if it's needed, but the system will have to be kept local and won't be able to have an internet connection for online play for security reasons.
I think that's all you need to know from our end, but let us know if you have any other questions!
