LT Virtual

Joomla template for VR arcades and studios: tonight's floor plan on a metre grid, experiences drawn to scale with player counts, sessions, parties and studio work.

Joomla SP Page Builder Free version

The Joomla demo is coming. The preview shows the same design on its WordPress version.

The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Virtual for Joomla.

Key features

LT Virtual is drawn like the arcade floor seen from above, with every play space outlined on a grid where one square is one metre. The home page opens on tonight's plan of the arena, bays and briefing room with the next free start. Pages cover each experience, the bays and racing rig, parties and groups, safety, the crew, a studio for business projects and a booking request form.

  • Tonight's floor planThe hero maps the arena, four bays and the briefing room on a metre grid, with what is running in each space and when it is next free.
  • Experiences drawn to scaleEach experience shows the floor space it needs and a dot for every player, beside its length and minimum age.
  • Parties and a VR studioBirthday and team event packages sit beside a studio section for training simulations, walkthroughs and event installations.
  • Quickstart or template packageStart from a full copy of the demo site (the quickstart package of the Pro editions, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser) or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
  • Fonts that ship with itStick No Bills and Zen Maru Gothic are bundled with the template, so pages make no requests to Google Fonts.
  • Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.

What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site

No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.

  • AI help in ticket support Available now with Pro Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
  • Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
  • Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
  • AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions

Is it only for VR arcades?

No. Escape rooms, laser tag venues and studios that build immersive training can use it too, since the floor plan suits any venue that sells play spaces by size.

Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?

No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.

Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?

Take the quickstart package for a new site that should look like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.

Why does the preview open a WordPress site?

The Joomla demo of this design is not online yet. The Joomla version uses the same design and pages, so the preview shows what you get; the Joomla demo will replace it.

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Free is the template package with the footer credit. Pro adds the quickstart package (a full copy of the demo), credit removal and ticket support: Pro Standard for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.

What if it does not work for me?

If a Pro product has a problem we cannot fix, open a ticket within 30 days of your order and we refund it in full.
