The Hubert Curien Pluridisciplinary Institute proposes an application to dive into the earth of the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) detector, one of the two detectors that discovered the Higgs boson discovery in 2012.
The application is available for three type of devices and, here below, you will find download links together with some informations and advises about the material to use for each type.
Virtual Reality Helmet (HTCVIVE, RIFT, RIFT-S) under Windows 10

Apple
- Installation
- Download Zip file from: https://gitlab.in2p3.fr/jerome.hosselet/depotsvrcms/-/blob/master/BETARCMAC.zip
- Unzip the file in a directory
- Open the directory of the unzipped file
- Start the application
- Your Mac will probably not allow the application as it is not yet certified. It will ask to put it in the trash or cancel. Click on Cancel.
- Now, you have to change you Mac permissions by going to general panel of Security & Privacy preferences. In that panel, click on “open anyway”. The application will automatically start.
