TRY THESE SCIENCE RELATED-APPS ON OCULUS RIFT
- Sign Up for a 30-minute session here!
Make sure you or your partner has attended the 15-minute Orientation.
Bring a partner for safety.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE FOR YOUR SESSION: The VR system will be set up and you'll be able to choose the applications you want to explore. Everyone needs to bring a partner (Wire Watcher) when they sign up (for safety and to help with set-up).
20-Minute Sessions are in the Curr. Lab: You can sign up for more than one. You can also come by the Curriculum Lab every noon hour. If no-one has booked the system, it will be available for drop-in.
Chemistry & Microbiology
- HoloLAB Champions
HoloLAB Champions is a virtual reality chemistry game show, where you complete lab experiments to become a Champion of lab practice. Interact with equipment and materials that you'd find in an actual lab. You must finish your experiments safely and accurately to earn points for entrance into the Hall of Brains. Scoop, pour, and burn your way to mastery in the HoloLAB. - MicroCosmic Worlds
A discovery- based journey into unseen worlds of the microcosmos. Using the power of virtual reality, you (the player) are transported deeper and deeper into the worlds of the infinitesimally small. - Nanome
Imagine a future where chemistry and the nano-scaled world are no longer difficult to understand. Imagine having the ability to build your own molecular structures out of thin air or explore the intricacies of a DNA strand or understand what medicine looks like at the molecular level. - InCell VR
InCell is an action/racing game with a bit of strategy and science thrown into the mix in a rare and highly unusual microworld of the carefully recreated human cell. This is the right project to start your acquaintance with VR or receive new VR impressions. The game is focused on Virtual Reality but you can play just fine without a set.
Dimensions of Space
- 4D Toys
What if you received a box filled with mysterious toys from the fourth dimension?
• Playfully explore and marvel at beautiful shapes powered by a groundbreaking 4D+time physics system.
• Over 100 beautiful interactive scenes to play with, with more to be added in updates.
• Groundbreaking 4D+Time Physics Engine that uses new mathematics created for this project.
The Universe
- Home: A VR Spacewalk (BBC)
Throw yourself into the void 250 miles above Earth in this award-winning VR spacewalk inspired by NASA's training program and the astonishing experiences of its astronauts. Home puts you at the center of the story, taking you on an emotional and personal journey while delivering beautiful, heart-stopping, and memorable moments. - Buzz Aldrin: Cycling Pathways to Mars
In the world’s first holographic legacy VR project, created by 8i, viewers will have a unique opportunity to ‘meet’ the astronaut through his hologram today, and future generations will be able to experience Aldrin's legacy, long after mankind has made the journey to Mars. As NASA prepares to send the first humans to Mars, 8i and Time Inc's LIFE VR have collaborated with the celebrated astronaut and historical icon to create a one of a kind virtual reality experience.
