Kings Highway features Pico 4 headsets, touted as the 'Ferrari' of VR. Manager Richard Thai calls IEU a one-of-a-kind gaming experience. In the Vex Play area, players engage in MR and watch others inside the same game using the headsets. Titles include Granny's Alien Invasion, Jump a Cheese and Buckshot Bonanza, with multiplayer action and upgrades. In the Valo-Arena, the experience uses AR on a tiled floor akin to XBox Kinect or Wii Sports, with games like Ground Fall and a bank-heist variant. Each session lasts about five to eight minutes depending on pace.
