Two people use virtual-reality headsets in a space-themed exhibition. A woman in a black outfit stands smiling while lifting a VR headset from her eyes, holding a controller in her other hand. Behind her is a wooden display unit with a screen showing an image of Earth from space. To the right, a man wearing a teal shirt sits inside a large circular window structure designed to look like a spacecraft cupola, with a projected view of Earth below.

The University of Glasgow has launched its first [un]box VR kiosk at Glasgow Science Centre, part of the Museums in the Metaverse project.

Explore digitised artefacts like Dolly the Sheep’s skull, fossils, and minerals in stunning detail.
