NJE VR

Step into an immersive virtual world and embark on a historical journey of engineering. In this meticulously crafted 15-minute long VR adventure, you’ll find yourself side by side with two of the 20th century’s most influential minds: Theodore von Kármán and John von Neumann.

As you initiate your voyage, you’re presented with an intricate control panel representing the pinnacle of engineering from yesteryears. With the guidance of Theodore von Kármán, a luminary in the field of aerodynamics, you’ll learn to operate a gas turbine. Feel the tactile feedback, hear the whirring of the turbine, and see the realistic reactions, making it seem as if you’re genuinely present during the initial days of aerodynamic exploration.

Transitioning from the roaring turbines, you’ll find yourself in the quiet sanctum of early computing. Here, with the inimitable John von Neumann, you’ll delve into the heart of the IAS computer—one of the first-ever general-purpose electronic digital computers. As you replace vacuum tubes and calibrate circuits, you’ll gain insights into the very foundations of today’s digital age.

Every scene, every interaction has been developed with precision, ensuring that the player not only learns but feels the passion and dedication of these two pioneering figures. Voiceovers in clear English guide you through each segment, while subtitles ensure you don’t miss out on any nuances.
