Atlanta: Horizon of Khufu Immersive VR

Eclipso’s Horizon of Khufu immersive VR experience introduces a unique and fun way to learn history by fully immersing you the explorer in the Great Pyramid of Giza. You are able to experience visiting the pyramids without actually having to board a plane. While you won’t get to actually touch the pyramids, this is a unique way to learn about ancient Egyptian culture. Depending on your interactions the experience lasts for approximately 45 minutes.

The immersive experience starts off with an overview history lesson as you register yourself or group. If you do have a group, you will need to register together to locate the group while wearing the headset. Upon completing registration, the headset is provide and fitted. You will meet your tour guide Mona, who provides a few safety rules and guidelines. The main rule being stay within the blue or yellow lines. If you get lost, look for the obelisk. That’s it, you are now ready to explore!

For the entirety of The Horizon of Khufu you wear the headset. The headset covers your eyes and ears making the experience completely immersive. But don’t fret, if anyone wearing the headsets come within your immediate space the VR will redirect you and you’ll be able to see them within the VR. As for the experience, you are transported back in time to ancient Egypt where you crawl through tunnels, lifted up to the top of pyramids, boat ride down the Nile and much more. Now, that’s all I’m sharing, I don’t want to give to much away.

The experience is fun and is something different from the norm. I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. Is it worth the price? Yes. Would I do it again? Maybe, if there is a change in the theming.
