FXHibition opened up its gates today to San Diego Comic Con attendees. Similar to last year’s FX Fearless Arena, this year’s exhibition showcased the shows of the FX network in a unique and entertaining way. It’s a fun time for everyone, and a great place to go when you need to sit down and relax throughout the convention weekend. We got to walk through the FXHibition a little today and it was awesome. The most entertaining and terrifying activation was the American Horror Story AHS Fearless VR Experience, featuring elements from the upcoming season of the FX show using the HTC Vive. Activation requires a pre-registration online and a QR code before being allowed into the room, so make sure to have that with you!
