Mars Home Planet

Mars Home Planet

Our team led a global challenge to imagine what Mars could be like if it were inhabited by one million people. The end product is the culmination of over 1,000 crowdsourced submissions that inspire creative thinking and innovation in transportation, education and architecture. Our groundbreaking story takes users through the Martian Community Onboarding Center upon arrival to the planet, showcasing the innovations that enabled humans to make the leap to Mars. Distributed exclusively on the Positron Voyager motion chair, Mars Home Planet elevates educational storytelling through the integration of motion, haptics, spatial sound, and 6 DoF virtual reality.
