Felix & Paul Studios, a leader and pioneer in creating and producing virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality experiences, has opened its new immersive experience, Interstellar Arc, which is showing exclusively at AREA15 in Las Vegas.
Fusing cinematic storytelling with advanced immersive technology, the attraction takes audiences on an emotional journey into humanity’s future among the stars.
Shown inside a 20,000-square-foot, custom-built venue at AREA15, Interstellar Arc showcases state-of-the-art visuals, interactive environments, and sensory world-building that test the limits of virtual reality storytelling.
Paul Raphaël, co-founder and chief innovation officer at Felix & Paul Studios, says: "Interstellar Arc is the culmination of more than a decade crafting immersive, story-driven experiences — making people feel truly present in another world.
"Interstellar Arc isn’t an escape from reality — it expands it, creating a world that reacts to you and blurs the line between imagination and the real."

Vision humanity's spacefaring future
Set in the 25th century, visitors start their journey by boarding the Interstellar Arc spacecraft at HEXO Spaceport One at AREA15 in Las Vegas. They are then placed into cryogenic sleep and wake 262 years later as their final destination approaches.
In the spacecraft's weightless environment, passengers reconstruct memories and rediscover their purpose as explorers of a new world.
Félix Lajeunesse, co-founder and chief creative officer at Felix & Paul Studios, says: "Exploration drives humanity forward. Interstellar Arc imagines how intergenerational collaboration, and advancements in science and technology, will propel our future among the stars.
"Humanity is a young species in a young universe, and our journey into the cosmos is just beginning, creating an opportunity for us to imagine what that future will look like."
The experience has garnered positive feedback from early visitors for its emotional depth, cinematic atmosphere, and sense of shared connection, while others praised Interstellar Arc's awe-inspiring scale and magnitude.
Felix & Paul Studios' Emmy Award-winning work includes a long-term partnership with Cirque du Soleil, Jurassic World, and Space Explorers: The ISS Experience, the biggest-ever production filmed in space.
As the company's most ambitious project so far, Interstellar Arc combines 10 years of collaboration with NASA with the emotional power of immersive cinematic storytelling to create an original and resounding vision of humankind’s future in space.
AREA15 in Las Vegas offers a unique combination of art, technology and entertainment, making it an excellent venue for this avant-garde experience. In a city renowned for daring experiences, Interstellar Arc sets a new standard with a hyper-realistic, fully embodied space adventure.
Felix & Paul Studios released public tickets for Interstellar Arc on 28 July 2025. Booking is available at www.interstellararc.com.
