Then, they will step into a flight suit and harness, wearing a Gear VR headset, to experience the lunar mission in the gravity offload rig, feeling what it\u2019s like to walk on the Moon. The market-leading Gear VR headset provides users an untethered, ultra-fast, smooth and immersive VR experience. By leveraging the power of Samsung Galaxy S9+ and the high quality of its Super AMOLED displays, the Gear VR headset uses dedicated sensors and a wide field of view to help consumers fully immerse themselves in the experience of walking on the Moon.<\/p>\n<p>To develop this realistic lunar experience, Samsung\u2019s rig design team collaborated with the team at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston behind the Active Response Gravity Offload System (ARGOS) to create a VR experience which mapped to the actual partial gravity experience of walking on the Moon. ARGOS is used to train astronauts to operate in low gravity environments.<\/p>\n<p>The AMFAM VR content was produced by Samsung together with creative agency, Iris, and award-winning creative studio Framestore.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11793\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11793\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/07\/Samsung_NASA_Amoonfor-all-Mankind_AMFAM_final_photo_RRSS.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11793\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/07\/Samsung_NASA_Amoonfor-all-Mankind_AMFAM_final_photo_RRSS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/07\/Samsung_NASA_Amoonfor-all-Mankind_AMFAM_final_photo_RRSS.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/07\/Samsung_NASA_Amoonfor-all-Mankind_AMFAM_final_photo_RRSS-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/07\/Samsung_NASA_Amoonfor-all-Mankind_AMFAM_final_photo_RRSS-351x185.jpg 351w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11793\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">\u00abA Moon For All Mankind\u00bb 4D virtual reality experience at Samsung 837, powered by Gear VR and Galaxy S9+ (Photo: Business Wire)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cStarting this year, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Program that landed a dozen Americans on the Moon,\u201d said Sean Carter, Strategic Partnerships at NASA Johnson Space Center. \u201cWith VR experiences, like the one Samsung has developed, we are working to make lunar missions accessible to the public and are excited to inspire the next generation of astronauts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Samsung, we are driven to push the boundaries of innovation and inspire consumers to do what they can\u2019t,\u201d said Zach Overton, Vice President of Consumer Experience &amp; General Manager of Samsung 837 and Galaxy Studios. \u201cWe are proud to bring to consumers the combination of our powerful mobile VR headset and our innovative work with NASA to launch this lunar experience and bring the sensation of walking on the Moon to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highly-immersive \u201cA Moon for All Mankind\u201d cinematic adventure utilizes Samsung Gear VR and Makes U.S. Debut at Samsung 837.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Image over the headline.-<\/strong> \u00abA Moon For All Mankind\u00bb 4D virtual reality experience at Samsung 837, powered by Gear VR and Galaxy S9+ (Photo: Business Wire)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Electronics America, Inc. in collaboration with NASA today launched \u201cA Moon for All Mankind\u201d (AMFAM), an immersive, consumer-focused 4D lunar gravity virtual reality (VR) experience.
