Virtual Reality Experiences
Expedition Titan
Be the first to try Expedition Titan, a cutting edge VR experience, while also helping and giving feedback to one of our Startups in Residence, Hyperspace. Titan is currently in beta 0.2, a high-end beta version. Beta testing is a process companies go through to refine a product (usually software) after all the major development has been completed and larger issues have been fixed. Be part of this stage of the development process; your participation is needed to identify any additional flaws, glitches or enhancements.
Embark on a tour in space to visit Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. Explore Immersion Stations, go inside a cryovolcano, and see beautiful views in this yet-to-be-explored place. Members, $12 / General Public, $15.
