The project was presented at the Meet Digital Culture Center in Milan.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VIS developed Moon Landing in collaboration with M9 &#8211; Museo del &#8216;900 in Mestre and ETT Spa of Genova. The goal was to create new tools for high-level science popularization using multimedia technologies and virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The VR experience is based on realistic physical parameters, making the simulation challenging. Users have to manage fuel, control the speed and inclination of the lunar module to land safely. In addition to the piloted version, VIS has also developed a 360\u00b0 video version that allows you to experience the moon landing as a spectator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VIS offers Moon Landing to museums, planetariums, schools and universities as a tool for science popularization, believing in the potential of virtual reality for learning: VR increases learning speed and confidence in applying the knowledge acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VIS imagines expanding the project to simulate landings on other planets, such as Mars or Titan. This would allow exploring new worlds and deepening scientific knowledge in an engaging way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moon Landing, a virtual reality simulator developed by VIS, offers an immersive experience of the Apollo 11 moon landing, allowing users to pilot the lunar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,1],"tags":[32,71,50],"class_list":["post-3195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-collaborations","category-news","tag-astronomy","tag-museum","tag-virtualreality"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
