Virtual voyage to the moon

A VR exhibition titled China's Deep Space and Lunar Exploration officially opened at the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, on May 29.

More than 100 teachers and students from primary and secondary schools across Mongolia attended the opening ceremony of the exhibition, where they experienced the unique appeal of China's deepspace and lunar exploration technologies.

The exhibition combines artificial intelligence and extended reality (XR) technologies to present the achievements of China's deep-space lunar exploration program through immersive virtual reality experiences. Using panoramic VR displays, the exhibition offers visitors a virtual "journey to the moon".

Wearing VR headsets, the visitors explored simulated lunar landscapes and experienced walking on the moon in an immersive environment. Through interactions with a virtual non-player character named "Chinese Panda", they also learned about aerospace science in an engaging and interactive way, highlighting the integration of technology and culture.
