The Impact Simulator uses five edge-to-edge 86" 4K displays combined into a single 10800x3840 viewport, with 3.1 surround sound and DMX lighting, to simulate an alien spaceship crash landing based on the Roswell Incident. Galactic Explorer, on three 65" touch displays, is a search game where visitors look for clues about life beyond Earth using NASA-sourced research and archival footage.
