Envisioning Corals: learn about coral bleaching through VR
Envisioning Corals is an academic project born to communicate climate change issues, particularly coral bleaching, through innovative strategies as Virtual Reality. Within the collaboration of the Mind and Behavior Technological Center (MiBTeC), Politecnico di Milano and the Marine Research and High Education Center (MaRHE) a multidisciplinary team of experts in psychology, information technology and marine sciences has been established.
Envisioning Corals is a Virtual Reality educational serious game in which participants can experience the impact of anthropogenic pollution and rising temperatures on a fragile and rarely accessible ecosystem: the reef. Users will be transported inside a virtual representation of a coral reef where they will be able to choose between three different avatars to impersonate: a coral, a hermit crab, or a sea turtle.
