Pest control
Some strange insects are living at the Science Centre. Let them crawl up your arms – don’t worry, they won’t bite. They’re virtual creatures!

Augmented reality zone
Step into the augmented reality zone and see if you can tell reality from virtuality. A tourist points his phone at a restaurant and the menu, and other users’ reviews, pop up on his screen. A surgeon downloads details on her patient through high-tech glasses. Augmented reality is all this and much more.

Have yourself filmed in front of a green screen, and then superimpose your image on a video you edit yourself! You’ll learn the tricks of the trade with the pros from Cybercap and get an introduction to production techniques, from motion capture to shooting, editing and special effects. Star in your own film!
