“On Wednesday afternoons, we have normal kids helping the beginners out, by following their progress on the screen. Even if the helmet gives the impression of being a little trapped in its own world, it is actually a very social activity.” Working in the multimedia department, Melissa Hernandez loves to see kids explore a myriad of universes, wearing the Oculus Vive headphones acquired by the media library.
deceptive immersion
On the first floor of the building, near the Nintendo Switch console and a selection of Halloween games, a computer “gamer” invites you on a ride from his armchair. Once you have the VR headset on your head and the controllers within easy reach, all you have to do is choose from the dozens of playable titles in the media library.
You can choose to explore the ocean depths at The Blue, visit a Dali board as if you were there (literally), or even help your little mouse overcome jungle obstacles in Moss, each puzzle of which will help you face a cozy table. Once immersed in the program, the field of view is completely immersed in the scene, the atmosphere of the sylvan is enhanced by the music and sounds of the forest with many details. Don’t forget to turn your head so as not to miss any clues that will help you solve puzzles!
Chauvet cave as if you were there
Less fun-focused, but more meditative, the Chauvet Cave virtual tour installs the viewer into a cave reconstruction with cave drawings, the details of which can be illuminated by waving the joystick, which becomes a torch in the game, after witnessing a scene from everyday life in a men’s camp prehistoric.
Also on the list: Tiltbrush, a program for drawing around you in 3D, Adventure Climb, a small climbing game very popular with children, or Luna, a puzzle game with a nice atmosphere like Cutters… A change of scenery guaranteed, from which we came out with the cute hibernation he knows Lovers of dark rooms well after a good movie. To try the headset, simply call or email the media library to reserve a slot, it’s free.
