Game Happens 2019 – Conference
Friday 8 November, Afternoon Sessions
A new way to engage the museum visitors: virtual reality guided tours. The Science Museum in Milano “invented” a new formula to transmit knowledge about science and technology with virtual reality. A specialised team of scientific explainers every weekend accompanies the museum public on the top of Mount Everest, on the ocean floor to discover the shipwreck of the Titanic, on the Moon in the days of Apollo 11 and in many other inaccessible places.
