Additional Information & Description

“Life Chronicles” in Lyon takes you through Earth’s history in virtual reality, beginning 3.5 billion years ago. Walking beside a Tyrannosaurus is one of its striking encounters: an interactive journey that brings the evolution of the planet and its life into view through a VR headset.

From ocean depths to tropical forests

The tour moves through critical stages of evolution, taking you into environments as different as the deep ocean and tropical forests. Swim in the virtual sea, encounter marine reptiles and see giant millipedes as the journey unfolds. These scenes give the educational content a concrete focus: the creatures and habitats you see form part of a much larger story of life on Earth. Rather than presenting that story only as a timeline, the experience places you within its virtual environments.
