Description

Particle accelerators are complex machines built from thousands of devices. For a neophyte, grasping how they work is challenging.
Using a virtual reality application for outreach to the general public is a way to raise interest of a broader audience. This technology immerses the user in a new environment with game-like elements to guide and highlight the experience. It can also give a much better sense of scale and architecture than a video or an article.
