A breath-taking space exploration experience in Virtual Reality

Compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus CV1 and DK2.

Discovering Space 2 is all about exploration. There’s no action, shooting or explosions, just sightseeing, discovery and relaxation on an epic scale.

Calming, wondrous and adventurous.

• Take control of your ship, or follow a tour, and immerse yourself in a journey through the Solar System.
  
• Feel the awesomeness and remoteness of deep space.
  
• Experience the mood and atmosphere of worlds far away from home.
  
• Explore at your own pace, and learn about what you see.
  
• Come back with a new sense of amazement of what is out there.

Built from the ground up for VR, you have a small space ship and the entire Solar System to explore.

The end result is an experience that conveys the scale, awe and feeling of planetary exploration, in a fully immersive way. You really feel like you are there, and it is at times breath-taking. You can travel vast distances, view the planets (and their moons) from afar, execute some close fly-bys and plunge through their atmosphere down to the surface. Along the way you can listen to on-board commentary that adjusts its content depending on whether you take your time, or just dive straight in.
