Virtual Smithsonian Flight Exhibit

Virtual Smithsonian Flight Exhibit


BSU IDIA Lab developed Virtual Milestones of Flight, an immersive head mounted display prototype designed for the permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

Both the exhibition and simulation celebrate selections of the most significant airplanes, rockets, and spacecraft in history. Some of these craft incorporated into the simulation include: Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis, the X15, a hypersonic rocket powered USAF aircraft, the Wright Brothers’ flyer, Sputnik, the first Russian artificial satellite, and NASA’s Apollo 11 Lunar Lander.
