About the Game

The Great Exhibition ran from May to October 1851 in London's Hyde Park, in a temporary building known as the Crystal Palace. Six million visitors passed through the turnstiles, to view over 100,000 individual exhibits.

Now, over 170 years later, we are recreating the exhibition as an immersive VR experience. The simulation includes a narrator to describe each of the exhibits and the Crystal Palace building. Fire up your SteamVR system and explore the Great Exhibition...

If no VR headset present will run in fallback mode (monitor / keyboard / mouse).

Note: this is a large application and can take some time to start up.
