VIRUP – THE VIRTUAL REALITY UNIVERSE PROJECT
Immerse yourself in the most advanced and detailed virtual map of the Universe. Sit back, relax and enjoy this amazing journey!
VIRUP is a new multi-platform Virtual Reality (VR) environment developed by the Laboratory of Astrophysics from EPFL, which provides users with the most modern dynamical view of our Universe. Being fully immersed, one can travel through space and time, from the solar system through the outer confines of the Universe, visiting the nearby stars, exoplanets, our galaxy the Milky Way and the Local Group.
At BASE Q Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, you have the chance to experience a virtual reality tour of VIRUP.
TRANQUILITY BASE – A SWISS SPACE VIRTUAL ESCAPE GAME
A thrilling co-op augmented reality escape game taking place in a lunar base and its mission control center on Earth where cooperation, action and time will be key to saving the mission!
Tranquility Base is an application to promote Swiss excellence in the domain of space in an entertaining and educational format. The game is based on the physical escape game named “Switzerland, We’ve Had a Problem” created by the student association “Space@yourService” at EPFL and can be played now in a virtual format. While solving the puzzles, learn about Swiss cutting-edge technologies that support living on the moon. There are hidden elements, too. How many can you find?
At BASE Q Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, you have the chance to play the virtual escape game “Tranquility Base”.
