NEW DELHI: Wondering what to do with your time while waiting to board a flight from Indira Gandhi International Airport? Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has come up with a solution.
Passengers will now be able to enjoy the virtual experience of a roller coaster, an urban landscape, ice age and other scenic views through the “Virtual Reality Dome” set up inside the airport premises. The virtual reality apparatus has been set up in the domestic departures pier of Terminal-3 near gate 41 with shows ranging from 7 to 15 minutes based on the choice of a user, officials said.
“IGI Airport has been a hub of experiences. With the launch of the world’s first Virtual Reality Dome at the airport, we continue to provide an enhanced travel experience to our passengers. The launch of this digital travel platform has been done keeping all safety measures in place given the outbreak of the pandemic,” said DIAL CEO Videh Kumar Jaipuriar.
The virtual dome became operational last week and 80 passengers on average have been using the facility daily. The seats are sanitised after each user leaves the facility to prevent the next one from getting infected.
