Mission: ISS: Quest on The Meta Quest 3

#metaQuest3 #vr #inspace
Introduction
Every person on the planet, young and old alike, has wondered about our place in the universe.
The idea of space creates a deep yearning for answers and experiences in all of us, and it serves as a common, unifying thread for humanity. Mission: ISS promotes this commonality through thrilling immersion.
The VR experience features realistic and intuitive navigation, helpful advice from Mission Control, and compelling and visceral science-related content.
“Mission: ISS is an impressively detailed view of life in zero gravity”
-Paul James, Road to VR
The brief
NASA wanted to bring the magic of space travel to everyone.
The solution
Mission: ISS lets users explore the International Space Station in detail and understand what it’s like to be an astronaut in a way that’s never before been possible.
Based on NASA models, and honed with input from astronauts who have lived in space, Mission: ISS recreates the International Space Station in painstaking detail. Users can experience how to move and work in zero-gravity, use space tools, dock a space capsule, and take a spacewalk.
Real astronauts provide a sense of presence through instructional video clips. With strong STEM-related themes, anyone can take part in experiments and actual missions on the station.
Since the experience is fully immersive, users feel a sense of weightlessness that can only be felt in VR, similar to what astronauts feel... a fact that Mission: ISS’s astronaut advisors confirmed. (In fact, more than one said it was like making a return trip!)
The impact
VR experiences are ideal for taking users to places that are too dangerous or too expensive to go; with that in mind, Mission: ISS was made to remove those barriers-literally anyone with a VR headset can get a taste of space exploration.
Mission: ISS is a non-profit initiative. It is freely available on Meta’s Quest store and has been demonstrated at science exhibits, international conferences, fairs, and exhibitions across North America and Europe to wide acclaim.
