Europa Prime: A STEM-based Virtual Reality Game
With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the UniVRsal Access project, EdGE is collaborating with Landmark College, MXTreality, and other partners to design, develop, and research the STEM-based virtual reality (VR) game Europa Prime, as well as a wealth of related digital assets and education materials.
In a futuristic space station on Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter, players are tasked with completing STEM-based puzzles, fixing the station, and communicating with the alien life found in the moon’s subsurface ocean.
The game, co-designed with neurodivergent learners from Landmark College, is sensory friendly, with development choices and in-game controls that minimize issues like motion sickness and allow players to easily adjust visual, audio, and other settings.
Other assets, including augmented reality (AR) experiences, videos, and 360 images, are also available for exploration.
