  • 1. Nov. 17, 2021: 11th Clash Of Realities (Part III)

    Summits: Immersive Gaming x Cultural Heritage & Media Education

  • 10:55  - 11:15
    The VR Zeitreise at the Zukunftsmuseum in Nuremberg is both: a permanent installation at the end of the future-oriented exhibition, as well as a research lab for exploring player behavior in VR. The project, a collaboration between the Cologne Game Lab and the Deutsches Museum Nürnberg, offers four players at a time the opportunity to discover a simulation of the future simultaneously, within a freely walkable space. In production, the goal was not only to generate an entertaining and engaging experience, but also to fulfill the museum's didactic mission as well as minimizing access thresholds given the diverse audience. Jonas Zimmer, who led the project, will provide insights into the production and the underlying considerations.
