Virtual Reality documentary

The universe – as we know – is infinite, but it is no longer unfathomable.

Starting from the screenplay, through a constant dialogue with researchers from INAF (National Institute for Astrophysics), we have made 2 documentaries in virtual reality that reproduce numerous study sites located in the Chilean desert and under the Teide volcano in Tenerife.

The environments have been reproduced with hyper-realistic technique, and within them, the signal reception parabolas have been placed, allowing researchers to probe our universe.

The VR documentaries are enriched with many videos and audio contents, which can be activated through the interactions that the user can have with Cicer-One, the “friendly Virgil” who guides us through the experience and which Vitruvio Virtual Reality has imagined and created specifically for INAF.
