Created by Felix & Paul Studios, PHI Studio, and in association with Time Studios, Space Explorers: THE INFINITE has already transfixed Houston visitors in 2022. Since then, the journey has been remodeled and improved, transporting us even further in space.
The new, 12,500-square-foot adventure is divided into 5 chapters in a life-size virtual recreation of the International Space Station — including footage and video logs captured by actual astronauts, and an art installation by famed Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, ‘The Universe within the Universe,’ that evokes the weightlessness of the pitch-black vacuum of space.
The interactive art mimics the journey of falling into a wormhole with its LED ceiling and mirrored floors.
The exhibit presents a new launch room, over 65 VR content orbs and 2 cameras — including a custom VR 360 camera design that actually went to space.
Throughout Space Explorers: THE INFINITE, you’ll feel as though you’re actually in space throughout a free-roaming VR journey that presents jaw-dropping views of Earth and majestic sunrises. The whole journey is so realistic and vivid!
As you’re transported 250 miles above Earth, your connection to the universe grows tenfold. Encounters with astronauts, mesmerizing moments of Earth-gazing… every sensation transforms the way you view the universe and your place in it. Past visitors have expressed feeling emotional, moved by the Emmy Award-winning film footage of Space Explorers: THE INFINITE.
The hour-long VR experience is currently open at Sawyer Yards, and tickets are available!
