New VR Center Opens at Vienna's Danube Tower

A new highlight for technology and culture enthusiasts is emerging at the Vienna Danube Tower: On October 23, a year-round immersive center will open, allowing virtual journeys to historical places. The opening will feature the multisensory experience "Machu Picchu: Journey to the Lost City".

The operators announced in a press release that three major virtual reality productions are planned annually at the new immersive center. They are focusing on "state-of-the-art technology and captivating storytelling". It all starts on October 23 with "Machu Picchu: Journey to the Lost City".

Vienna Danube Tower Becomes the Gateway to the Metaverse

In the immersive center, the audience is meant to "directly" dive into digital worlds. This is made possible through virtual reality glasses, opening a journey into a metaverse, a digital space. Each exhibition is framed by an "atmospheric pre-show" intended to set the thematic mood and create a dramatic arc, according to the operators. The visit (several languages are available) lasts about an hour, with up to 100 people able to participate simultaneously.

Immersive Center Launches with Inca Time Travel

"Machu Picchu: Journey to the Lost City" makes the legendary Inca city experienceable in its original form, according to the announcement. Visitors will also "fly" over mountain landscapes, encounter mythological figures, and witness key historical moments, such as a solar eclipse from the Inca perspective. The exhibition combines historical accuracy with playful elements, emphasized the operators, who have also been responsible for immersive large-scale exhibitions at the Vienna Marx Halle for years.
