The courtyard between the Educational and Entrepreneurial buildings of the Delta Centre, the explorers can see the Bolt Self-Driving Car. This car is developed by the [[http://adl.cs.ut.ee/|Autonomous Driving Lab]] of the [[https://cs.ut.ee|Institute of Computer Science]]. If one is brave enough, they can stop the car and catch a ride, simulating both the **feeling of being in a self-driving vehicle** as well as VR motion sickness.

Where the actual Delta building has a set of skywalks connecting it with the entrepreneurship building, DeltaVR has a set of portals leading to the Space walk experience. In it, one can move in the **vastness of space** and experience **changes in gravity**. A fleet of UFO ships react to one's presence and come to investigate the arrival.

### Server Room
2025-06-18 08:45:31 +00:00
On the second floor, one can hear the humming of the servers. Should they investigate, they will find a room of server racks and a large red button. Should they push the button, they will trigger the **fire alarm** and have the server room fill with harmful invisible gas. This propms the player to escape the room. This largerly **auditory experience** is noted to be engaging and immersive. It represents the work of UT HPC in maintaining the servers of the University of Tartu.

To navigate the two floors of the large Delta Educational Building, explorers have an interactive map. This provides a clear overview of where they currently are and what other interactions are located across the building. Explorers can teleport to a **select interactive experiences**, while others are left for them to discover based on the hints on the map.
