Rift in Space: ‘Mission:ISS’ Launches Today
Based on NASA Space Station models as well as discussions with multiple astronauts and the VR Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Mission:ISS recreates the International Space Station in painstaking detail. While many of us dream of becoming astronauts, only about 500 people have ever been to space. Thanks to Mission:ISS and Oculus Touch, you can use your virtual hands to dock incoming cargo capsules, conduct spacewalks, and perform mission-critical tasks. Now anyone, anywhere, can experience the breathtaking view of Earth from orbit.
Designed and engineered by the Academy Award-winning team at Los Angeles-based Magnopus, this visceral, interstellar experience also marks a new cornerstone of interactive education. People will learn the history of the ISS and hear the stories of several astronauts in a series of immersive videos. We’re also piloting a limited beta program in the US to provide high school students with direct access to Mission:ISS.
