Explore worlds you never thought possible through The Franklin Institute's groundbreaking new virtual reality experiences. The most comprehensive VR experience ever launched at a museum, The Franklin Institute is now home to spectacular immersive films and state-of-the-art technology that will transform your view of the world - literally!
Strap on an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift and be transported to another world where anything is possible - even elements reacting to your movements and commands. Discover the hidden beauty of the deep sea, fly to the farthest reaches of outer space, take a ride through the complex inner-workings of the human body, and more. With the HTC Vive, walk around and completely immerse yourself in an interactive adventure like no other. For a more relaxed experience, take a seat and observe the beautiful worlds that the Oculus Rift transports you to.
The Virtual Reality Stations will introduce you to the VR features that our mobile app offers! You will be amazed by 360° photos and videos at the Your Brain and the Space Command exhibit.
