Virtual reality in C-mine expedition

Would you like to feel what it was like to work underground in the mine? Find out how dark it really was in the sweltering, dimly-lit galleries? To feel the dust tickle your nose. Feel the drills vibrate. The black sweat in your eyes. Your own voice overpowered by the deafening noise. The soil shaking from the countless explosions in the sticky ground beneath your feet. The clang of metal on stone as the jet-black coal gets extracted… Thanks to Virtual Reality technology, you can experience coal mining as it was done in the 1950s.

You’ll learn some of the most exciting stories from the lives of the miners. Unforgettable!
