Felix & Paul Studios and PHI Studio are thrilled to present THE INFINITE: the first multisensory and interactive virtual reality experience to transport visitors aboard the International Space Station

THE INFINITE offers visitors the opportunity to experience life beyond Earth by allowing them to roam inside the ISS and immerse themselves in real 3D, 360-degree footage of astronauts in their day-to-day environment.

Shot over two years, producing more than 200 hours of high-end virtual reality footage, this four-part immersive series documents the life of eight international astronauts inside—and outside—the International Space Station. 

With a surface area of 12,500 square feet, THE INFINITE is an hour-long full-body immersive journey featuring seven distinct chapters, layered with multisensory content to recreate the expedition of an astronaut. From mission training to their ascension into space to their return back to Earth—where nature has slowly reclaimed its rights—each visitor is invited to create their own story to experience the sensation of being in space.

THE INFINITE: a unique and highly engaging free-roaming experience
Transitioning from more static cinematic footage in virtual reality, 90 simultaneous users will be able to wander in a free-roaming environment and feel the weightlessness of an astronaut through a stylized wireframe representation of the International Space Station at full scale. At the end of this 35-minute free-roaming experience, visitors will get to contemplate the overview effect while witnessing the most impressive view of Earth from space, a view that is typically reserved for an astronaut’s eyes only. To be able to accommodate a free-roaming environment with so many users, PHI has developed a monitoring tool to facilitate the experience.
