History you walk through, not watch

EXPERIENCE IT FROM WITHIN

The story comes first

The technology is how you live it.

Free-roaming VR means no seat, no controller and no screen between you and 1953 — you walk, you climb, you look down.

  • Free-Roaming: Move freely through a 400m² set built as the mountain itself.
  • Physical: Cold air, wind, vibration and pressure cues your body reads as real.
  • Together: Roped to your own team, exactly as the 1953 climbers were.
