NVIDIA Powers First Multi-Player VR Park in the
Philippines

 

First of its kind VR+ virtual reality playground opens
in Manila

Manila,
Philippines—February 12, 2018—NVIDIA is powering VR+, the first virtual
reality (VR) playground of its kind in the Philippines, which allows multiple
people to play simultaneously in the same game.

All 33 VR units at the venue, owned by VR Kings
Amusement Inc., are driven by the award winning Pascal™ architecture-based
GeForce® GTX 1080 GPUs, which deliver amazing performance, power efficiency and
gaming experiences.

Newly opened to the public, VR+ provides multi-player
VR games paired with specialised somatosensory devices. Instead of merely
sitting on a chair with a headset, players at VR+ get to interact with the
environment and one another, deeply immersing themselves into the game. Players
get a one of a kind experience without having to purchase expensive gear or
acquire a large space. 

The initial target market are younger gamers because
they are most interested in such gaming experiences.

“Not many people have the luxury of buying VR headsets
and games. With VR+, not only can people finally get to try VR games, but they
also get to do so with their friends. They will experience games that will make
them feel as if they are in a different place. No other gaming platform can
really replicate that feeling. We aim to make VR gaming the cool or hip thing
to do,” said Keith Ang, president, VR Kings Amusement Inc.

VR+ is located in a 245-square-metre facility at Unit
272-274 Level 2, S Maison, Marina Way, Mall of Asia Complex 1300, Pasay City,
Philippines. 

“VR+ is leading the way towards giving gamers in the
Philippines an immersive gaming experience. And GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs are the
ideal engine to power their VR games,” said Simon Tan, director, consumer
business, APAC South, NVIDIA.
