5 Things to Know About Interstellar Arc
Interstellar Arc is a fully immersive virtual reality attraction unlike any you have ever seen, or even imagined. It’s an hourlong journey where you walk around a virtual spaceship, learning about space exploration in a safe, interactive environment. Five helpful things to know about this unique experience:
1. Interstellar Arc is not a video game. It’s a cinematic story told in virtual reality.
While there are many interactive elements throughout Interstellar Arc that all take place completely in a virtual world, you don’t need to worry about slaying dragons or outscoring opponents. You’ll experience what it could be like to travel and live in space as science fiction blends with the mystery and wonder of space exploration.
2. The voyage is virtual, but a lot of the space footage is REAL.
Through your VR headset, you’ll be walking through a virtual spaceship, gazing out into the cosmos. However, a lot of what you’ll see is very much real. Interstellar Arc combines powerful film footage taken from NASA and the International Space Station, with cutting-edge mixed reality in this creative, innovative journey through space. Created by Emmy Award-winning immersive media pioneers Felix & Paul Studios, this one-of-a-kind experience contains imagery collected from more than 10 years of actual space exploration.
3. You’re not a spectator. You’re part of the experience.
Your virtual space suit provides an interface that allows you to do more than just see the future world for humanity. You’ll be able to communicate with others in your group as you go exploring, collect items and activate interactive stations throughout this multisensory escapade. You can even stop to pet the Diplomat, an artificial intelligence often appearing as a blue fox. She will guide you through the intergalactic experience. You can even receive achievements for unlocking various tasks during your tour of the spaceship.
4. Every experience is different and the images you take are yours to keep.
No two experiences are exactly alike, as you and your group weave your way individually through the ship. Throughout your visit, you can take up to 30 images of everything you see as you walk around by using your virtual space suit. You’ll be able to download and save them through email after your journey on Interstellar Arc is complete.
5. There’s nothing like Interstellar Arc anywhere in Las Vegas.
You won’t find an attraction that provides an experience like this anywhere else in Las Vegas, so make Interstellar Arc a must-stop during your visit. Whether you’re a fan of virtual reality, a tech enthusiast or someone who is captivated by space travel, it’s a one-of-a-kind, out-of-this-world adventure you’ll remember forever.
