Wed 4. Sep 2024 12:30 – 13:00

Embark on an immersive journey into cybersecurity awareness with our interactive hacking simulation set in the breathtaking Deep Space 8K environment—a transformative experience for all ages.

Can you unhack Deep Space?

How can we make children more familiar with IT security in an engaging way? Our project addresses this by developing an interactive game that simulates a hacking experience, showing how quickly one can fall victim to cyber threats.

The audience sees a vivid, dynamic simulation of a hacking attempt in real-time. The setup includes high resolution imagery, tracking and real-time feedback to create a fully engaging experience. Participants make decisions and observe the immediate consequences of their actions.

HackTrap highlights the importance of digital literacy and cybersecurity awareness. By targeting a younger audience, we aim to foster a generation that is more knowledgeable and cautious about online security. In turn, this will contribute to a safer digital future.
