Virtual reality now takes video gaming to new high | Chennai News … – Times of India

CHENNAI: While gaming space developers across the world choose to invest in virtual reality with an eye on the future, here is a Chennai-based promoter who has designed a space that draws on the gamer's adrenaline to deliver fun.

Unlike the traditional gaming arenas that offer a mix of console and arcade games, K Abilash's "Daddy Cool", located in Anna Nagar, is a first of its kind racing game arena in Asia, says the 35-year-old. It's selling point are the two types of racing games on offer. One is based on artificial intelligence, the other is a throwback to the 'Hot Wheels' racing most millennials would have grown up with.

"Though the racing track concept has been around for years, what we present at Daddy Cool is a mix of aspects from console gaming along with advantage of user interaction with the gaming elements," Abilash said.

The idea seemed profitable enough for Abilash to quit a white collar job from Samsung to "indulge in a childhood passion."

Imported units from German manufacturer Carrera has been pieced together to form two racing tracks that measure 86 and 127 feet respectively.
