A train journey can now be made even more exciting, as anyone travelling on the Eurostar this summer can look forward to a virtual dive look forward to it in the dark English Channel won't be boring. Passengers can download the "Eurostar Odyssey" app onto their smartphone and put on VR goggles (a cardboard holder).
The VR holder for the smartphone is distributed free of charge by the staff. "Eurostar Odyssey" is compatible with iOS and Android. In the VR experience, the outer walls of the train become transparent, allowing you to see the surrounding underwater world. Accompanied by marine explorers, you can experience pirate treasures, mermaids and an octopus.
According to Guillemette Jacob, Head of Marketing at Eurostar, the aim is to make travelling on the Eurostar more immersive and enrich the experience on the train. "Eurostar Odyssey" should certainly be a nice way to pass the time. The VR experience is available on trains in the E300 and E320 series and on routes between London and Paris, Lille, Brussels and Lyon.
