Summary
SPACED OUT is an underwater VR experience, using a waterproof headset, the DiVR by Ballast Technologies. It invites visitors to float on water while breathing with a snorkel, giving an illusion of being immersed into the lunar surface. SPACED OUT transports the visitors from earth to the moon, from water to space and from the first to the third person, leaving body behind, to reach the moon and then its hollow center.
