VR Martian Experiences

The NASA Future Flight Experience Will be at the Super Bowl LI in Houston

— January 26, 2017 — Tech
Houston has long been the center of space travel in the US, and NASA Future Flight is an experience that continues that tradition — albeit virtually. The experience, which has recently been announced by the Houston Super Bowl Host Committee, will be available to all those who attend the upcoming Super Bowl LI.

NASA Future Flight will combine virtual reality with a ride in the real world to provide a thrillingly accurate depiction of travelling to Mars. The experience takes just over two minutes in total, so it's obviously much shorter than an actual trip to the red planet. However, because of the collaboration with NASA, many of the other details are extremely accurate, including actual footage from Mars for a portion of the experience.

The virtual reality ride also includes a 90-foot drop in real life, giving Super Bowl attendees the physical sensation of landing a spacecraft.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Reality Experiences - There is an opportunity to create innovative virtual reality experiences that provide accurate and immersive depictions of various places or events.
2. Collaboration with Organizations - Collaborating with established organizations like NASA can lead to the creation of unique and highly accurate virtual reality experiences.
3. Integration of Physical Sensations - By incorporating physical sensations into virtual reality experiences, such as the 90-foot drop in the NASA Future Flight, a more immersive and thrilling experience can be offered.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry can leverage virtual reality technology to create unique and exhilarating experiences for audiences.
2. Tourism - The tourism industry can use virtual reality to provide virtual tours of popular destinations, giving potential travelers a realistic preview of what they can expect.
3. Space Exploration - The space exploration industry can utilize virtual reality to offer the public a taste of what it's like to journey to planets like Mars, generating excitement and interest in space exploration.
