War Remains
About War Remains
Produced by MWM Interactive, directed by Brandon Oldenburg and developed by Flight School Studio, with audio designed by Skywalker Sound.
War Remains premiered to international acclaim at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019 and later opened for a limited run in Austin, Texas. It went on to win the “Out-of-home VR Entertainment of the Year” award at the VR Awards.
War Remains is located in the Museum and Memorial’s Memory Hall. To access Memory Hall, enter the Museum through the main entrance and use the east elevator.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your ticketed time. Note that the walk from the Museum and Memorial’s west parking lot to the entrance takes approximately five minutes.
Free parking (including accessible parking) is located on the south side of the Museum and Memorial in the U-shaped drive and in the West Visitors Lot.
All War Remains participants MUST sign a release or they will not be allowed to participate in the War Remains experience. Individuals aged 14 through 17 must have a signed release from a parent or guardian to participate. We recommend you sign the release in advance and bring it to your ticketed time slot, or you can fill one out on-site.
Due to the graphic and sometimes disturbing nature of the War Remains content, participants must be 14 years of age or older.
Like other virtual reality experiences, ours may not be suitable for those who are pregnant or have health issues, including vertigo, photosensitive epilepsy and mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder or anxiety. If you have any health conditions, we suggest you consult your doctor before using VR.
You will be viewing War Remains on a Vive Pro virtual reality headset. The headset uses "room scale" tracking technology, allowing the user to move in 3D space and interact with the environment using motion-tracked handheld controllers.
The Museum and Memorial takes health and safety of guests, volunteers and staff very seriously. Between participants, we utilize Cleanbox on VR headsets which has been independently lab-tested to kill 99.999% of bacteria, viruses and fungi in 60 seconds.
You will be walking through a physical set with obstacles and moving floors in the War Remains experience. We recommend that you wear closed-toe shoes.
Yes, the VR headset does accommodate glasses and hearing aids.
Yes! We have a manual wheelchair that is suited for the experience and we can also evaluate whether your own chair might work as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us directly at [email protected].
Absolutely! Tickets to the Museum can be purchased online in advance or at our ticketing counter. Be sure to check out our Museum Café for a bite to eat and stop by the Museum Store for exclusive War Remains merchandise.
Due to the limited run of War Remains, all sales are final and tickets are not refundable. Please contact [email protected] with questions. Thank you for your understanding!
