Energy Encyclopedia VR

Experience energetics in virtual reality!

The Virtual Reality extension of Energy Encyclopedia presents technically accurate 3D models of energy facilities across five areas: Nuclear Fission, Nuclear Fusion, Solar, Hydro, and Wind Energy.

The new version reflects feedback from the World Nuclear Exhibition 2025 in Paris and features a more intuitive control scheme, suitable even for users with no prior VR experience.

You will learn the operating principles of various types of power plants, including their major components and how they function.
