A veritable nightmare for flat earthers and after an award decorated run in the US, the interactive and multi-sensory space extravaganza that is Neighbourhood Earth finally found its way down under to incarnate and to prove an immersive experience for anyone fascinated with space and with the infinite realm of “where few man have gone before.”
Cue William Shatner who recently was able to back up the intro of Star Trek by scoring a lift with Jeff Bezos on New Shepard and thereby on the back of Virgin Blue’s missions created the ideal backdrop for Neighbourhood Watch to eventuate.
Cinematic and majestic in scale, the space environment that is Neighbourhood Earth has been created in collaboration with NASA and its Space & Rocket Center to ideate the evolution of an exhibition that strikes the right balance to create a family-friendly experience, being both educational and entertaining.
Based on a digital and holographic reconstruction of our solar system, visitors are enabled to not only visually travel through the galaxy to visit recreations of life-like interplanetary missions but also closely examine astronaut suits and replica of spacecraft as well as other interactive installations aimed at gaining a hands-on understanding of the environment in space.
Employing the merits of high-impact multimedia projection technology combined with data, stories and artefacts from subject matter experts, Neighbourhood Watch is a fun experience.
