Description:


    Orders of Magnitude is an immersive educational virtual reality application. Each player can explore all the known scales in our universe by zooming in or out. This scientifically accurate experience contains elements such as galaxies, stars, the solar system, Earth, the human brain, neurons, DNA, atoms and subatomic particles. The majority of the content is taken from various scientific databases and is represented, wherever possible, as it exists in nature. An artistic impression is used to depict elements for which little or no information is available about their visual presence.
