Migrant children take a virtual voyage into space

Several dozens of migrant workers’ children participated in a special space adventure at the LOOP Star Ring Center’s summer camp program last month.

The “Aerospace Mission Immersive Experience Exhibition” taught attendees about basic astronomy using virtual reality scenarios, space voyage simulations, interactive sessions and a stamp collection activity.

Young children took a virtual voyage of the Mars rescue mission, studied significant space exploration landmarks, space food and historical aircraft models, and got astrological information from different perspectives.

The two themed tasks for visitors were deep space exploration and daily life on a space station, both of which presented challenges and surprises.

The children learned about the astronaut selection and training procedures, as well as China’s lunar landing missions. Those who completed nine tasks received a unique honorarium badge.

Over 20 missions have been built to provide visitors a realistic experience of space missions, such as satellite phone calls between Mars and Earth and the seed selecting and planting process on Mars.

A new esports stadium, the LOOP Star Ring Center, opened earlier this year in the Qianwan neighborhood of the Hongqiao International Central Business District.

The venue focuses on the combination of esports and technology, and the exhibition, which will run until the end of August, complements the VR gaming and esports halls, as well as other commercial amenities at the location.
