CN6400 Steam Locomotive VR Experience
Re-opening in 2017, the Canada Science and Technology Museum tells Canada’s innovation story in an immersive, educational, and fun way. This truly was a match made in heaven.
All aboard the CN6400 train! Experience our historical representation of the Canadian Innovation, the CN6400—the very same train that carried King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the Royal Tour across Canada in 1939. We take you into the steam train cab to operate the functions of the train, designed to educate people about the functional design of the train cab. Using Oculus Rift, this is a 360 virtual reality experience with hand sensors. You can touch and interact with all the functions of the train and learn all about locomotive engineering.
Be the engineer!
Complete several tasks within a given time limit and learn what it was like to operate a massive steam engine from the early 20th century.
Use your hands
Utilizing the power of the Rift, the experience allows the user to operate the steam locomotive with their hands! No controllers are needed.
Experience 4D sensations
Our custom 4D booth provides sensory stimulation that enhances the immersion of the experience. The constant rumble of the engine and the release of pressurized steam will feel all too real!
