Houston, we have an encore: ISS virtual reality experience 'The Infinite' returns

The black silhouette of the international space station is seen against a green screen, with the outline of two hands beneath it.

What do you do for an encore after you have virtually transported thousands of Houstonians to the International Space Station?

If you are Felix & Paul Studios, you invite them back to fly to the moon.

"Space Explorers: THE INFINITE," which three years ago made its U.S. premiere in Houston, is now back in Space City for a limited second run. The interactive and immersive experience is again inviting the public to explore a virtual, life-size replica of the International Space Station (ISS), letting them almost feel what it is like to be an astronaut.

A spin-off of "Space Explorers: The ISS Experience," an Emmy-award winning series produced by Felix & Paul in collaboration with TIME Studios, "THE INFINITE" combines footage from the largest production ever filmed in space — more than 200 hours of 3D 360 cinematic virtual reality footage shot over the course of nearly three years — together with a virtual model of the space station that encourages visitors to physically roam the layout of the orbital outpost while exploring 360-degree vignettes in many of its modules.
