A free virtual reality festival is coming to ACMI

For most of us, reaching the top of Mount Everest or swimming alongside a giant blue whale will forever remain a dream. But hey, who needs to worry about the logistics of finding a sherpa willing to drag your sorry self to the top of the world’s highest mountain when you can immerse yourself in the finest virtual reality technology that this world has ever seen. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: what a time to be alive. 

Highlights include Earthlight that’ll get you as close to floating through space as you’ll ever get, Everest VR that’ll take you on five panoramic scenes from basecamp to summit, VR Funhouse which offers some straight-up video game fun, and TheBlu: Encounter which will bring you up close and personal with the most majestic of sea creatures – an 80-foot blue whale.
