Haven XR is the world’s first cinematic immersive experience that will be opening in Singapore and Malaysia in 2024! With a promise to be a revolutionary cinematic experience, HavenXR makes use of Location-Based Virtual Reality (LBVR) to bring audiences along an immersive journey where they're not merely viewers, but integral parts of the movie itself.
In the experience, you, the viewer, makes the choices that determine the storyline - a cinematic choose-your-own-adventure experience where you can engage your senses and change the virtual realm you are in. The first experience on offer is The Keeper – a horror flick and other ideas and scripts will be launch progressively.
It was slated to launch in 2024 in Malaysia and Singapore but there has not been any updates since. Let's keep our ears open for updates!
