What’s next for immersive creator storytelling
summary
Three XR projects use specific tech and partnerships to push conservation: a location-based Hololens 2 AR experience visualizes echolocation and targets noise pollution around 74 southern resident orcas (three recently pregnant) with Smithsonian, Microsoft and First Nations partners; a VR chapter in a larger storyworld collaborates with the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior to embody three migrating species and link to citizen science; a dialogue-free 2D game on Steam stages a child’s descent through ocean pollution and channels revenue into activist campaigns.
