Abstract

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Quantum Mechanics, using the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we plan to organize an exhibition starting in the second half of 2025. The exhibition will offer immersive content designed to attract and engage an audience that is often lost due to the inherent complexity of the subject. This project will incorporate virtual reality, computer games, audiovisual content, and interactive experiences to achieve this goal. The computational resources have been estimated to provide a wide range of content in a space that is typically more spatially expansive. The interactivity of the audiovisual and virtual reality equipment will allow visitors to actively participate in the exhibition by selecting the topics presented in each projected area. (AU)
