3d underwater world
Peoples influence in the ocean is vast and the topic its a hot one upon climate change and environmental studies. There is a lot of information out there on this topic but how much of it do we actually understand if we can’t see and experience this in all its degrees? How do we invoke a change in behavior on the general population when the information we have remains abstract to our day to day life?
Seaseek is a Virtual Reality Underwater simulated world created to bring the ocean closer to the user. The Simulation starts by putting the Virtual Reality Head Mounted Display on. Navigation and interaction in the simulated world are controlled through handheld controllers. The user can then start its journey and discover an underwater world full of animals and fragile ecosystems. Going trough levels of the Simulation, one is able of experience different degrees of Pollution due to human influence. My goal is to encourage the user to reflect upon the experience presented by the simulation and to raise awareness about our responsibility in the challenges ocean ecosystems are facing today.
