At the C-mine Expedition experience centre visitors can experience life in the coalmine during the 1950’s at this industrial heritage site. This is a world first where social VR is employed in a museum.

This experience allows visitors to see their fellow visitors and their movements in the virtual world, making it a social experience.

Additionally, 3D-scans of actual miners were used to make the virtual miners in the VR experience.

Another feature is the virtual interactive “spotlight” on the visitor’s helmet that functions like a real miner’s headlamp.

Several special effects are used.
