MARS on the Field

Mars on the Field

How do we galvanize public and private support for space exploration, an arena that can seem inaccessible to most people?


“Mars on the Field” will offer an immersive walkable virtual reality experience that takes place on the physical Sun Devil Stadium field. As users begin at one end zone, they will explore the history of human understanding of Mars.
