IKEA VR Experience
Explore and interact with an IKEA Kitchen in Virtual Reality! Walk around freely, open drawers and put your vegetable peelings in the waste sorting station. You can even enjoy the visual impact of different material finishes and experience things from a child’s point of view. This is the first time IKEA has offered a VR experience to our customers, so we'd love to get your input.

Find the drawers that can be opened. Pick up a frying pan and place it on the stove.
