As one of the few VR films, “2nd Step” has been selected to screen at SIGGRAPH 2019. In this intriguing VR film the viewer gets the outstanding opportunity to set off for a fascinating VR journey into space, visiting a number of thrilling settings of current and future space missions, such as the landing spot of Apollo 11, the planned Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway and the Shackleton-Crater at the South Pole of the Moon.
The film conveys an authentic sensation of how it must feel to actually be on the moon, climaxing in the visit of Mars – a desert planet of superlatives, with the most immense volcanoes and the deepest canyon in the solar system, perfectly reconstructed in 3D in an unique richness of detail.
