Visualizing Earth’s futures
summary
Three projects build interactive interfaces to turn climate science into actionable experiences: a sea‑level‑rise VR/360/AR suite that ran for ten weeks at a public library with 400 people trying VR at the library and that distributed 30 headsets to classrooms, a Reset Earth animation plus game app for 10–13 year olds with lesson plans and a planned education platform, and Beyond Blue, a BBC Blue Planet II–inspired game across Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, mobile and VR that unlocks 16 short documentaries and links in‑game actions to citizen science.
