The VR application "Dans la peau de Thomas Pesquet" won the prize for Best Immersive Creation (360°, VR, Augmented Reality) at the SMA Awards 2018.
France Télévisions teamed up with its audience to co-create an innovative experience
For the first time, on March 14, 2018, around fifty viewers from France Télévisions took part in the beta-testing of the 360° application "Thomas Pesquet: in the skin of an astronaut".
Viewers sat down with the crew at the top of the rocket in the Soyuz capsule to experience the launch, journey and arrival in the station. Then Thomas Pesquet took them on a tour of the station... with a few surprises, ending with a spacewalk and experiencing the sensations that astronauts experience physically and psychologically.
During this test, the participants answered a questionnaire whose results can be taken into account to adjust the films, and shared with you on this platform.
