Lesabéndio: An Outer World Adventure

“Lesabéndio: An Outer World Adventure” is an immersive VR-Experience that invites you to push the boundaries of your imagination by taking you on a journey through space. Inspired by the novel “Lesabéndio” of German avant-garde author Paul Scheerbart, you'll create an alien travel companion guiding you through the universe. Starting on the fictional asteroid Pallas your journey leads you through unfamiliar places and unknown territories all the way into the sun. The experience stimulates you to deep dive into your creativity and to explore your inner world. Follow your curiosity and don’t be afraid to create. Actively shape your environment and hence realize how far you can push the limits of the thinkable.

“Lesabéndio” is an innovative approach to combine the joys of literature with the immersive possibilities of VR.
