Abstract
An inflatable structure that includes a roof structure comprised of inflatable beams interlocked to form a hexagonal pattern. Inflatable columns support the roof structure. The inflatable columns can be selectively retracted to change the interior structure of the inflatable structure. Walls can be placed between the inflatable columns to further vary the interior structure and create mazes. The inflatable structure can be themed, e.g., by installing themed skins on interior surfaces of the room to provide a user experience. The inflatable structure may also include integrated virtual reality components, including a virtual reality headset supported by the structure.
