VR Time Machine: a journey to the big future

Good day, Timetravelers

This is your boarding call for our VR Time Machine. Your destination: Big Future. Mode of transport: Virtual Reality. We have clear weather today. Our flight time takes not 10, 100 or 1000 years, but billions of years ahead into the future.

On the cosmic timescale, humanity is just a flash. The VR Time Machine lifts you above it all — letting you see, feel, and experience the future like never before.

A mind-blowing adventure where knowledge and imagination collide.

Biologists, geologists, astronomers, and climate scientists shared their vision of the future. Artists brought that future to life.

Do you dare to travel billions of years into the future?

Strap in! You’ll float past deforestation, urbanization, climate change, an ice age, meteor impacts, colliding galaxies, and the rebirth of the universe. With a VR headset on — and as you’re actually lifted into the air — you'll experience time and space like never before.

Feel yourself truly lifting off. Witness the end — and the rebirth — of the universe. Discover your place in the grand story of time.
