READY PLAYER ONE
Video
Official Trailer 1 [HD] 2017
From filmmaker Steven Spielberg
comes the action adventure
“Ready Player One,”
based on Ernest Cline’s
bestseller of the same name,
which has become a worldwide
phenomenon.
The film is set in 2045,
with the world on the brink of
chaos and collapse.
But the people have found
salvation in the OASIS,
an expansive virtual reality
universe created
by the brilliant and eccentric
James Halliday (Mark Rylance).
When Halliday dies,
he leaves his immense fortune to
the first person
to find a digital Easter egg he
has hidden somewhere in the OASIS,
sparking a contest that grips
the entire world.
When an unlikely young hero
named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan)
decides to join the contest,
he is hurled into a breakneck,
reality-bending treasure hunt
through a fantastical universe
of mystery, discovery and danger.

VR simulation designed
to model a real-life nuclear exchange
UK
The project, called the Nuclear Biscuit
in honour of the small card
bearing the president’s
launch authorisation code,
was built using insights from interviews
with former government officials
about what might happen
if the US appeared to be
under nuclear attack.
It’s designed
to help lawmakers better understand
the realities of nuclear armament.
