A new award winning, multisensory, immersive space exhibit will be opening at Sydney's International Convention Centre on November 22:

Developed by NEC Partners, in conjunction with the U.S Space & Rocket Center and NASA’s George C. Marshall, audiences will be transported away into space through a multi-sensory cinematic environment. Guests will travel across the solar system and come face-to-face with Mars sunsets, Venus lightning storms and the surface of Jupiter. Museum quality models, spacecrafts, tools, and astronaut suits will showcase the facts, stories  and achievements behind space exploration and its future.

Guests can also get hands on with fun and engaging interactive learning activities, holographics, touch sensing projections and building games!

 Gizmodo have interviewed its creator, Declan McMonagle.

It looks fascinating.
