Glasshouse VR

Suitable for 8+

Each Glasshouse role experience is 7 minutes in duration. Bookings have been allocated in 30 minute slots to allow for rests between Glasshouse role experiences for the user to have a break from the VR headset.

Set in a world in the near future, Glasshouse is a biosphere where plant and insect life thrive in an ecosystem of integrated biology and technology. Maintained by intuitive glasshouse keepers who farm water and light, the glass house is a world where biotech agriculture and drone insects work in synergy with with ancient flora and heirloom edibles.

Glasshouse is a place where people, plants and insects enjoy a dance of interdependent survival. Participants play all three roles as they drop into a VR immersive experience as agents of interaction, choreographing energies that live within the glasshouse.
