Chapter I
INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
Virtual Reality or VR is a computer technology that replicates an environment,
real, or imagined and simulates a users physical presence and environment to allow for
user interaction. Virtual reality uses fancy peripherals such as gloves, helmets, and the
trending technology today, VR glasses. Through the use of VR glasses users get to
experience three-dimensional images and environment to be life-sized from the users
perspective.
The entertainment industry is one of the most enthusiastic advocates of virtual
reality, most noticeably in games and virtual worlds. With the growing expectation for
VR this year, many VR glasses are being developed by different companies and as well
as virtual reality integrated games.
In todays industry, the idea of virtual reality being integrated with the gaming
industry is not just anticipated by the young generation but also the adults, most
especially the gamers. With the advancement of technology today, gamers expect more
on the gaming feeling. Since virtual reality immerses the users into a virtually simulated
environment, users will be able to experience to play the game as if they were really in
it. For that reason, the proponents chose the virtual reality gaming center (VR Lab) as
their study.

Objective of the Study

The objective of the study is to be able to establish a technological rental
business in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. Specifically, the study aims:
1. To be able to provide satisfactory VR rental equipments to customers;
2. To be able to meet the needs of the customers;
3. To entertain with the use of VR equipments;
4. To be able to meet the legalities of the business.

Statement of the problem

This project will endeavor to answer the questions on how to establish intend to
start the virtual reality gaming center business. Specifically the following queries below
must be answered at the end of the study:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Where can the proponents get their VR equipments?

What legal documents should the business need to be able legally operate?
What form of marketing strategy should the proponents imply to their business?
How much should the customers pay to rent the VR equipments?
What variety of games can the customers play?

Background of the Study

Virtual reality has beginnings that preceded the time that the concept was coined
and formalized. The first fifteen years of the 21st century has seen major, rapid
advancement in the development of virtual reality. Computer technology, especially
small and powerful mobile technologies, have exploded while prices are constantly
driven down. The rise of smartphones with high-density displays and 3D graphics
capabilities has enabled a generation of lightweight and practical virtual reality devices.
The video game industry has continued to drive the development of consumer virtual
reality unabated. Depth sensing cameras sensor suites, motion controllers and natural
human interfaces are already a part of daily human computing tasks.
Recently, companies like Google have released interim virtual reality products
such as the Google Cardboard, a DIY headset that uses a smartphone to drive it.
Companies like Samsung have taken this concept further with products such as the
Galaxy Gear, which is mass produced and contains smart features such as gesture
control.
Developer versions of final consumer products have also been available for a few
years, so there has been a steady stream of software projects creating content for the
immanent market entrance of modern virtual reality.
It seems clear that 2016 will be a key year in the virtual reality industry. Multiple
consumer devices that seem to finally answer the unfulfilled promises made by virtual
reality in the 1990s will come to market at that time. If marketed and priced right, these
virtual reality headsets could introduce a brave, creative new direction for gaming and

would certainly move beyond the gimmick factor. Consider this a brave new world, and
one we can't wait to explore.
Scope and Limitation
This study focuses on the feasibility of having a gaming center integrated with
Virtual Reality using VR equipments and games immersed in virtual reality.
Due to limited time span, only the vital aspect of the feasibility of the study was
covered such as: financial, management and marketing strategy. In addition to that, the
study will also cover different categories of games in the said VR gaming center.
However, other matters and services that was not mentioned earlier will not be included
on the study.
Research Methodology
In order to make this study successful, the researchers gathered data through
the internet, observation, and printed materials on libraries such as books and
educational magazines. Data collection is one of the most important part of the study
since every information gathered will take effect on the conduction of the study of the
researchers. All data gathered must be accurate and genuine.
Significance of the Study
VR had its breakthrough with innovative applications with its high technology
system which correlates with the display technology, simulation technology, sensor
technology artificial functions as well as computer graphic technologies.

The feasibility of this study will serve as a guide for future researchers who will
be conducting the same field of study. And might also give idea for future business not
just to the proponents but to anyone who will be able to read this study.
