Hyper Reality

Hyper Reality is a VR gaming lounge in the heart of East London. Founded by Yu Jen Chen, I first joined Hyper to launch its pop up during Halloween 2019. We guided patrons through different VR experiences, each with its own unique edge. Some were scary, some had zombies, some for kids, all of them deeply immersive.

After the success of the pop up, our team quickly set to apply for grants to open our flagship store. My role went from Events Assistant to designing and draughting the space for proposals. Using SketchUp, I rendered the interior spaces, including the bar which helped us get approval. Afterwards, I was a key role in setting up the store, getting all the technical in good condition, and implementing design details throughout my time there.

The venue spans across The Arena, The Place with No Name, The Rollercoaster, The Go-Kart which offers next level VR experiences with exclusive titles for 1 to 4 players. A Tokyo inspired Lounge space hosts our retro-gaming and board games. Finally, The Club hosts a secret 270 degree mural equipped with a projector for private screening, gaming or karaoke.
