War Remains: Immersive VR Experience
This is not a game. This is History.
Live through the war to end all wars unlike ever before. Presented by legendary “Hardcore History” podcaster Dan Carlin, War Remains is an immersive VR experience that transports viewers to the Western Front of the First World War. Witness history unfold from a soldier's point of view in this thought-provoking, visceral encounter. Carlin’s iconic voice leads audiences into the trenches as an active battle scene rages on. Through stunning visual effects, powerfully designed sound and a custom set that allows you to feel the trench and experience the vibration of the floor as explosions surround you, audiences will undergo the annihilation of innocence caused by the First World War and bear witness to the emergence of modern warfare. Experience War Remains in the Museum and Memorial’s Memory Hall. War Remains is a solitary experience, allowing one user through approximately every 15 minutes. VR headsets and equipment are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between users. Due to the graphic nature of the content, viewers must be at least 14 years of age. All War Remains participants MUST sign a release or they will not be allowed to participate in the War Remains experience. Individuals aged 14 through 17 must have a signed release from a parent or guardian to participate. We recommend you download the release in advance and bring it to your ticketed time slot, or you can fill one out on-site. War Remains, like other virtual reality experiences, may not be suitable for those who are pregnant or have health issues, including vertigo, photosensitive epilepsy and mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder or anxiety. If you have any health conditions, we suggest you consult your doctor before using VR. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your ticketed time. Note that the walk from the Museum and Memorial’s west parking lot to the entrance takes approximately five minutes.
Audience Role
You will be viewing War Remains on a Vive Pro virtual reality headset. The headset uses "room scale" tracking technology, allowing the user to move in 3D space and interact with the environment using motion-tracked handheld controllers. You will be walking through a physical set with obstacles and moving floors in the War Remains experience. We recommend that you wear closed-toe shoes.
