“Nowadays, we tend to stay indoors; binge-watching TV series and playing computer games at the confines of our home.” This is an observation of Vijay Aidasani, co-founder of the newest virtual reality theme park in Pasig.
In October, Aidasani and his wife Anchesca, opened Virtual PH at Ayala Malls Feliz. The futuristic game park offers a diverse selection of state-of-the-art VR equipment and robust collection of games.
“With virtual reality becoming the fastest-growing entertainment and leisure activity in the industry lately, Virtual PH aims to deliver diverse VR experiences to people of all ages. Gaming enthusiast or not, one will surely find a mind-blowing VR experience they can enjoy,” said Aidasani.
Imagine a roller coaster ride fighting a humongous monster spider that’s hell-bent on attacking you, or flying in cosmic space with your friends to solve a mystery before you could go back to Earth. Or you can be the main character in “Alice in Wonderland,” solving puzzles with Cheshire Cat—all happening in a single room with only computers, headsets, and VR gear.
“Our vision is to provide an advance, immersive, social, and mind-blowing experience to our patrons by offering a fun and safe environment where people can just simply enjoy,” said Aidasani.
Virtual PH offers KAT WALK VR, an Omni Directional Treadmill that allows players to run and truly be in the game. With its complete set of VR equipment—from its sturdy rig to the specially-designed waist and feet sensor—the KAT WALK VR allows players to walk, run, crouch, and jump in any game and play a wide array of single or multiplayer shooting, RPG, and horror games without leaving their spot.
“The KAT WALK takes your conventional arcade game and completely changes the way you’ve ever played it with others. This is the embodiment of where technology meets reality,” enthused Aidasani.
Virtual PH has also leveled up one of today’s most tried and tested group activities in the metro with their themed VR escape rooms. Modern VR technology transforms a room into a unique, boundless, immersive environment. Powered by top-of-the-line HTC Vive VR headsets and GeForce GTX 1070 TI graphic cards, each escape room delivers an extraordinary sensory experience leaving players on the edge of their seat.
Anchesca, co-founder and head of marketing shared, “Virtual reality is helping us modernize how we play traditional games. Here at Virtual PH, we want to incorporate thrill and fun-filled excitement while providing a new and innovative team-building experience.”
In addition, Virtual PH offers three themed VR escape rooms that can accommodate three to six players per game, namely “Mind Horror” for the mystery and horror fanatics, “Cosmos” for the futuristic adventurers, and “Crazy Clockwork: Alice in Wonderland Stories” for kids and kids at heart.
Aside from the KAT WALK and the VR escape rooms, Virtual PH’s other immersive VR experiences include VR Karts, VR Motor Racing, Eagle Flight, and Star Twin Seat simulators.
Aidasani is proud to offer something new and immersive to people.
“With Virtual PH, we’re bringing people out of their houses again to socialize, try new things, and explore the wonders of virtual reality,” he said.
Virtual PH is located on the 5th floor of Ayala Malls Feliz, Marcos Highway (Marikina-Infanta Highway), Brgy. Dela Paz, Pasig City.
