28-Jul-2018

Samsung to give a space tour to its fan in its campaign "A Moon for All Mankind". To feature the Samsung Galaxy S9+ smartphone and Oculus-powered Gear VR headset Samsung is ready to give an immersive, 4D lunar gravity virtual reality (VR) experience.

Visitors can experience a full space mission, including a briefing about how astronauts move on the moon. They will wear a flight suit, harness and Gear VR headset to experience what it's like to walk on the moon. The headset uses dedicated sensors and a wide viewing field to offer an exact moon experience.  Samsung worked with NASA’s Johnson Space Center to simulate a system similar to the space agency’s Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) for its campaign. 

People can visualize the moon’s surface from a new perspective, and also experience low gravity.  To encourage youth for space science exploration with upcoming 50th anniversary of the moonwalk next year this campaign is designed.

Here is how it feels to walk on the moon
