A new virtual museum, the Museum of All Things (MoAT), has been created by Maya Claire, allowing users to explore Wikipedia’s vast content in a walkable, virtual environment. This innovative project uses the Godot game engine and Blender for modeling, with the entire codebase available on GitHub. Visitors can navigate through galleries representing different Wikipedia topics, starting from a lobby where they interact with a search console. Upon searching, a hallway magically appears, leading to exhibits like data visualization. The museum supports exploration on major desktop operating systems and in virtual reality, offering an educational and exploratory experience reminiscent of early CGI and educational videos. However, the experience might be less smooth on older hardware, as noted by a user whose Mac fan was overly active during the visit.
