Learn about space and astronomy

The virtual_control_room is an electronic learning environment resembling a real space control centre. The virtual_control_room makes use of Virtual Reality technology to enhance the experience of learning.

Edutainment in an electronic classroom

The virtual_control_room targets high-school students (16-18 years old), but will fascinate people of all ages.

It is great fun for students and teachers.

Hands-on and role playing

By planning and performing a simulated space mission, the students learn about astronomy, space science, physics, chemistry, etc.

A unique experience

The virtual_control_room allows planetariums and science centres to offer a unique experience to their visitors.

The virtual_control_room is modular, scalable and flexible, satisfying the individual needs and requirements of planetariums and science centres.

A new learning environment

The virtual_control_room represents a new concept of learning. It supports collaboration, provides multimedia content and makes use of Virtual Reality technology to enhance the experience of learning. The concept is known as edutainment, the pedagogical valuable cross-over between education and entertainment.

The virtual_control_room provides children and adults with access to knowledge about space science and astronomy in a manner that they can all benefit from and enjoy. The difficulty in understanding space and astronomy inhibits many persons from appreciating new achievements in this area. Furthermore, this also impedes them to pursue a further interest in the subject.

The virtual_control_room is a means for achieving a much better appreciation and understanding of astronomy and space is by the concept of a Control Room. The virtual_control_room exhibits a high quality user interface experience. It applies digital models, simulations, 3D visualisations, video, and current events in the familiar and yet stimulating setting.

Users of the virtual_control_room experience shared access to scientific information about astronomy and space. The concept is based on interconnected multimedia devices and material, allowing groups to explore and learn about astronomy and space. The system mediates this information while engaging users in realistic simulations and shared virtual environments.

The virtual_control_room allows planetariums and science centres to offer a unique experience to their visitors.
