My first experience with virtual reality (VR) was an unexpected one. While visiting an associate’s office, I was promptly ushered to her colleague’s workstation, where an Oculus Rift waited to wrap around my head. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but as I was putting it on, she told me to “to and stand as still as you can”.
“Challenge accepted,” I thought. Well, never have I been so wrong!

It may not look like it, but while I had the headset on, it sure felt like I was moving along with the roller coaster. I almost removed it, but intrigue surpassed “fear”. So, when Farrell came and discussed with the team about introducing US VR Global Inc to the media, I was excited. The idea of combining technology with playtime beyond smart devices appealed to me, and I liked the idea of reintroducing the concept of playgrounds to young generation.
Here’s what you need to know about US VR Global Inc and what it’s got to offer.
US VR Global Inc. is aiming to develop and operate a new generation playground, called “Hero Central Park”, based on cutting edge VR and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. Instead of the conventional rides and attractions you find at places such as Disneyland, Universal Studios and Six Flags, “Hero Central Park” is a theme park entirely designed around VR and AR technology. And the best about this, is the fact that it's now going to be accessible to Malaysians living in the Klang Valley, in the form of a 130,000 sqf space within Empire City, slated to open in March 2018.
Orchan introduced US VR Global Inc and its team to the media during a Press Conference in The Majestic Hotel, where Executive Chairman – Ramelle Ashram Ramli – and his team stepped the media through the different phases to their project. We also facilitated the Q&A session to ensure a seamless experience for both the media and client.

The Press Conference was followed by dinner, where Ramelle and Marc-Olivier showcased the technology behind the product. A signing ceremony with Empire City Group also took place, before introducing other key partners of Hero Central Park. The best piece of highlight was saved for last, where they announced the impending listing of US VR Global Inc in the United States in the second half of 2018.
