Bringing the Largest Mountain on Earth to Life

The National Geographic Society and Spatial have teamed up to harness the power of storytelling using Spatial technology to recreate the explorers' journey up Mount Everest. Once Upon a Climb, engages visitors in an immersive exhibit of great heights.

Visitors enter the prologue of the exhibit and are welcomed by sounds of a sleepy yet optimistic Base Camp as they are transported to Nepal.  Voices of mountaineers who braved this world marvel come to life as they prepare to climb the largest mountain on Earth.

Decades of Everest heard here

The exhibit’s prologue was Spatial’s first mountain to climb with National Geographic, and we knew this was going to be an adventure of a lifetime. National Geographic explorers, mapmakers and scientists provided a gripping narrative to transport visitors by recreating the scientific journey.

With 45 speakers, 1,161 sound objects and four projector outputs powered by Spatial - guests were stepping into a chilling adventure recreated with immersive audio.
