Mars 2030 VR is the latest education-focused
virtual reality simulation set on Mars. It has been
launched for the
HTC Vive and
Oculus Rift headsets, soon to come to
PlayStation VR, and has been developed in partnership with NASA. MARS 2030 centers on open world exploration, covering ~40 square kilometers of the Mawrth Vallis region, accurately
mapped and modeled using MRO HiRISE satellite data. Taking on the role of an astronaut, players traverse Mars and collect geological samples that uncover the planet’s past.
