“Consumer is king,” says Co-Founder, Leo Tsimmer. “We showcase the best of what AR/VR have to offer in a hybrid setting of a nightclub meets art gallery meets theme park. This turns the very definition of VR upside down. What would have been a lonely experience at home becomes an adventure to limitless destinations and a treasure chest of memories at VR World.

We humanize our brand and our product. VR World is easy, entertaining and unforgettable. We will now expand to over 18 major markets across United States and beyond.”

We created a sustainable business model with multiple sales channels. Our educational program is second to none. Combined with group sales and community engagement, these elements will continue to fuel our evolution and growth.”
