Once it is set up, the audiences can meet up or play games while exploring the digital island. The CEO of Miral, Mohammed Abdalla Al Zaabi, announced the initiative.
According to him, VR is the best medium for a global audience to discover Yas Island uniquely. He added that the visitors would be able to create virtual homes and even theme parks.
The central tourist attraction will be the Ferrari World, where visitors will get a chance to ride the world’s fastest rollercoaster F1 racetrack.
