Plongez sur la surface de Pluton en réalité virtuelle, grâce à de véritables images et données topographiques de la sonde New Horizons. Cette simulation casual free-to-play vous invite à explorer trois sites emblématiques façonnés par des processus géologiques uniques : les terres sombres de canyons de Krun Macula, la coulée glaciaire au rivage nord de Sputnik Planum près des al-Idrisi Mountains, et les hautes plaines criblées du centre de Sputnik Planum.
Parcourez-les depuis votre pod spatial personnel ou volez à pied à travers collines et canyons. Marchez librement, soulevez d'immenses rochers sous la gravité plutoienne, traversez un hémisphère en jet-pack et repérez la sonde New Horizons dans le Système plutoien. Des pancartes descriptives signalent les points forts du paysage, pour les passionnés d'espace amateurs d'exploration autonome.
The New Horizons probe to Pluto, a spacecraft that traveled almost a million miles per day for a decade, is one of the most celebrated missions in the history of space exploration. It is by far the longest journey in human history, and you can join us at the destination in immersive virtual reality. Imagery and topographical data sent from the probe have revealed for the first time an astonishing planet filled with the wonders of new, previously unknown geological processes.
What if you could stand on the surface of Pluto and behold some of these wonders up close, as though you were actually there? Using real imagery and data from 3 billion miles away, Destination Pluto: The VR Experience harnesses the power of virtual reality to give you mankind’s first self-guided tour of the surface of Pluto.
Destination Pluto: The VR Experience showcases three different locations based on their unusual geological processes—from the dark canyon lands of Krun Macula in the south; to the glacier spill way of Sputnik Planum’s north shore at the al-Idrisi Mountains; to the pitted high plains of the central Sputnik Planum. Tour these locations from the safety of your own personal space pod, or, if you dare, fly among the hills and canyons yourself. You can even walk around, and heft huge boulders as each location is calibrated with the physics of Pluto’s gravity in mind. Jet-pack across an entire hemisphere of Pluto and even visit the New Horizons spacecraft as it makes its way through the Plutonian System. Descriptive placards highlight points of interest around the landscape.
