Space Explorers: The Infinite

Space Explorers: THE INFINITE is a location-based virtual reality experience created by a joint venture between PHI Studio and Felix & Paul Studios.
The project reimagines space exploration as an immersive social attraction, enabling up to 150 visitors simultaneously to board a virtual spacecraft, float 250 miles above Earth, and walk through the International Space Station (ISS) — all without leaving the ground.

Building the most compelling immersion inside the International Space Station, allowing visitors to experience a virtual representation -- at-scale -- of the habitable satellite, requires a precise, robust, scalable and the least invasive tracking solution. Thanks to Antilatency’s technology, we are able to track and accurately represent more than a hundred people per session, roaming in a 6000 square feet volume.

About the experience

Visitors begin their journey in a physical space transformed into a multi-sensory launch zone, where they receive a briefing before entering the virtual world. Once inside, each person wears a VR headset and is free to walk untethered through a large-scale environment — no teleportation, no controllers.

The virtual landscape seamlessly blends 6DoF walkable VR with stunning 360° footage filmed in actual space aboard the International Space Station, captured by Felix & Paul Studios in collaboration with NASA.

Participants navigate at their own pace, encountering:
  • Intimate moments with real astronauts, sharing personal reflections about life in orbit;
  • Breathtaking views of Earth, designed to recreate the “overview effect” described by astronauts;
  • Soundscapes and environmental cues, which guide them through zones of exploration, reflection, and awe.

The entire experience is social — friends and families explore side by side, visible to one another as glowing avatars. Spatialized audio and smooth tracking ensure natural interaction, preserving the feeling of being truly together in the same space — just 400 kilometers above the Earth.

This is more than just a virtual tour. It's a shared emotional journey that reconnects participants with a sense of wonder, perspective, and presence.
