Visiting the ISS with Your Oculus Rift from the Comfort of Your Home

If you are eager to visit the International Space Station, the VR technology on Oculus Rift will help you explore the space station from the comfort of your home. Everyone would want a VIP ticket to have an amazing experience. Now, virtual reality devices might offer you this big opportunity. The project is called “Mission: ISS, ” and it is a totally vibrant experience.

• The VR device Oculus Rift will offer you an extraordinary experience.
• You will be able to visit the ISS from the comfort of your couch.
• You only need to sit back and relax while you are carried away through the ISS in weightlessness.

This mission is to deliver you on board the International Space Station through the virtual reality technology. You will be able to watch how the ISS orbits around our planet, experiencing all the realistic effects that are usually experienced by astronauts, like weightlessness. The new VR project was produced by Magnopus, a Los Angeles-based studio.

The experience was built in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, and NASA. Nevertheless, those who has previously tried VR devices for video games and they are hoping for a video game style journey, they should know that this is not the kind of experience they will encounter in this project. However, Mission: ISS was developed to provide a realistic version of how it feels to be in space, aboard the International Space Station.

You will also find out how it’s like to work there and be trained for different space station missions. You will also be assigned some missions which are inspired by the reality of what astronauts experience up there every day. The project is bound to be based on real facts and real situations which might occur when being aboard the ISS. The VR Oculus Rift technology will not use some kind of fictional approach to space.

Before starting this new and incredible adventure, strap on your Oculus Rift, but pay attention to some advice which might help you transform this experience into the best one you have ever had. You should sit, instead of standing while floating through the ISS. You may sit comfortably on your couch. The weightlessness effect of this new experience might look incredibly convincing, and you might get all dizzy when walking since you see yourself floating with the VR device.

You only have some handles around the walls of the ISS to help yourself advance throughout the space station. The project was optimized to work with Oculus Touch. Nevertheless, if you try to walk while using Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch, you might experience some vertigo.
