Virtual Reality Zoo opens at The Dubai Mall
Emaar has teamed up with VR studio Wevr to bring a Virtual Reality Zoo to The Dubai Mall.
The interactive attraction will bring guests face-to-face with endangered species from around the world. Adventurers can explore two different takes on reality, one based on live-action footage, and the other a CGI virtual experience.
The live-action footage explores a 360-degree reality of locations including Uganda, South Africa, Maldives, Egypt, Australia and Mafia Island, where users experience a 3D encounter with some of the world’s most captivating species, all of which are on the brink of extinction. The CGI animation from Wevr’s iconic VR experience “theBlu: Season 1” directed by Jake Rowell, allows guests to embrace the wonder and majesty of the ocean through a deeply immersive room-scale VR experience. Users will explore multiple underwater habitats and come face-to-face with some of the most awe-inspiring species on the planet.
Located near the iconic tunnel of Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, visitors can experience VRZOO for AED 30 for the 360 experience; or AED 50 for the CGI experience, by visiting Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo ticket counters.
