New technology like VR often requires a lot of overhead to integrate and maintain.

Opening in 2019, a new $100 million facility will become the home of the state museum of Washington. The building is now complete, but the collection of 16 million artifacts has not yet moved in. Stage 2 staff built a VR experience for the new Burke, captivating donors with a sense of scale in the new space including a lifelike model of a massive Columbian Mammoth.
The Pacific Science Center in Seattle wanted to breathe new life into an old exhibit. Stage 2 built a tablet-based AR experience that overlays virtual 3D content on a real world scene. The result was a cost-effective update to an existing exhibit, attracting new visitors after a relatively short development period.
The Space Science Institute (SSI) and Stage 2 are teaming up to create an extraordinarily realistic simulation of a mission to Mars. This immersive experience will deliver the largest explorable area of Mars to-date, including the grand Valles Marineris canyon, and the icy polar regions.
