The Nimitz is housed in “a massive, unfolding 18-wheeler,” according to a news release from VML Public Relations on behalf of the U.S. Navy. Those who participate will go through a video briefing before strapping on the virtual reality headset.
“Visitors navigate the mission using a cutting-edge steering wheel and throttle system that replicate the actual sensation of piloting a high-speed, Navy Special Warfare Combatant Craft. Once finished, participants move to the debriefing station, where they receive feedback and a performance grade,” the news release states.
The Nimitz Virtual Reality Experience will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at the air show.
