Cosmos Echo
A 5-minute VR experience about a dying astronaut who finds echoes of his life in the stars.
The experience
You are an astronaut drifting alone in space with five minutes of oxygen left. Through a telescope, you find echoes of your life in the stars: Saturn's rings hum the song from your wedding, and a passing comet brings back your daughter's kite. As each breath fades, love becomes your last connection to the world.
