Over 200 special guests, including Star Wars fans, gathered for the grand opening where – instead of a traditional ribbon cutting – the opening ceremony was taken up a notch with laser palm pads shooting up beams of light as a nod to the Star Wars universe with representation by the guests of honour to officially launch The VOID with Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire by ILMxLAB and The VOID.

he attendees were awed by the arrival of stormtroopers from a galaxy far, far away who were on hand for the opening. The VOID opened to the public on 6th December after an exclusive preview for partners of Resorts World Genting from 1-5 December.

Compared with traditional location-based VR, The VOID hyper-reality experience brings a completely new immersive experience. The VOID uses custom VR technology along with physical stages to create immersive experiences that inspire exploration and engagement. And its proprietary designed equipment melds the physical and digital worlds through head-mounted displays (HMDs), backtopTM computers and haptic vests, allowing sensory effects to be felt from multiple points using haptic feedback, that place visitors inside impossible worlds.

The VOID’s hyper-reality experience center effortlessly switches between different titles to bring two of most iconic experiences available at The VOID to guests:
– Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will take guests through a breath-taking journey where guests will feel the impact of blaster bolts, smell smoke from the surrounding environment, push buttons to solve an interactive puzzle to escape enemies, all while coordinating directly with their unit in real time through the blended virtual and physical world.
– Ralph Breaks VR, an original hyper-reality experience created by ILMxLAB and The VOID in collaboration with Walt Disney Animation Studios, based on their latest hit film Ralph Breaks the Internet. In Ralph Breaks VR, guests will sneak onto the internet disguised as netizens to play the newest, coolest video game ever. Guests will shoot retro alien spaceships, squash pixel bugs, and fend off hordes of bunnies, and kitties in the Pancake Milkshake Diner while they team up with Ralph and Vanellope in the race against time to see who can rack up the highest score! It’s all fun and games until an evil security system shows up and threatens to take everyone offline…permanently.

Tickets for Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire and Ralph Breaks VR at The VOID are available for pre-order on www.rwgenting.com.

With purchase of tickets to The VOID, Genting Rewards cardholders can enjoy free entry to Empire by Zouk including one free drink for those aged 21 & above and one free large margherita pizza at Motorino on 7 & 8 December. Purchases for The VOID throughout the month of December will entitle customers to free entry to Empire by Zouk.
