Home. A borderline experience

Under the title: Heimat. A Borderline Experience, the Museum Stapferhaus in Lenzburg is showing a permanent exhibition, which is open until the end of March 2018. Part of this exhibition is a virtual reality space journey.

The Stapferhaus in Lenzburg is known for its interactive exhibitions. At the moment, the innovative museum is inviting visitors to explore their feelings of home on an interactive experience trail.

In addition to the tour of the museum (in three languages: German, French and English), visitors are invited to take a ride on the 32-metre-high Ferris wheel. But beware: there are many prejudices lurking on the ride that you have to deal with. In the Mirror Garden, there are fewer prejudices, but suddenly a lot of "I's", all of whom seem to be in search of home. And once you have finally found your roots on earth, you can relax on a virtual reality space journey and leave home far behind.

Flight into space

Visitors to the exhibition enter the replica of a rocket and start the experience in a white, round room. As soon as they put on the VR goggles, they find themselves on board a spaceship.

After the rocket launch, a drone video is shown in which the Stapferhaus Museum and the town of Lenzburg disappear further and further into the distance. This is followed by a flight through the clouds and the departure from the Earth's atmosphere, until visitors can see our home planet floating as a blue dot in space, surrounded by the Milky Way and millions of stars, among the planets of our solar system.

The Zurich agency is responsible for the realisation of this VR project. Ateo responsible. Ateo is a digital and implementation agency specialising in virtual reality, augmented reality and games. Together with the Stampferhaus, the developers developed the concept, created the 3D models and realised the programming.

The exhibition can be visited until 25 March 2018. Take a look at the Flyer where you can find additional data with various interesting presentations.
