Our Wonderful Worlds in Virtual Reality at the Louvre-Lens Museum Tested and Approved by Middle School Students

And you, would you rather fight a dragon, face a kraken or ride a phoenix? At the Louvre-Lens Museum, students from the media group of the Langevin-Becker College in Salomé experienced these three adventures, in just seventeen minutes. Immerse yourself in imaginary universes This was made possible thanks to “Our Wonderful Worlds,” a virtual reality experience co-produced by the museum and Turn Please. If you want a little thrill, you have to do it! “It's a great feeling,” says Julia, 14.

Middle school students sit in a chair with helmets attached to their heads, and can only turn and extend their arms to move around in our “wonderful worlds.”

Helmets tightened on the head, Teenagers sit on stools. The adventure begins. They first see themselves developing in the library. At first, I was surprised. I tested the machine's capabilities to see if it could recognize my hand. “I am very happy,” says Iyad, 12.

“Very successful graphics”

Visitors are invited to touch the books to immerse themselves in them. These “wonderful worlds” are inspired by three works:Beowulf, Workers of the Seaby Victor Hugo, and Princess of Babylonto Voltaire. These literary sources are not featured in “Underworlds”. This brings something extra to the exhibition. “Noel Roufrais, head of digital mediation at the Louvre-Lens Museum, confirms.

With this kind of animation, I think more young people can come to the museum.”
