Virtual Reality – Drop in the Ocean & The Museum of Imagined Futures
To coincide with our participation in the UK Green Film Festival, we’re giving you the opportunity to experience two environmentally relevant Virtual Reality films, Drop in the Ocean and The Museum of Imagined Futures, on Saturday 6 July.
Drop in the Ocean
Give in to the urge to submerge. Ride a jellyfish. Meet a leatherback turtle. Come face-to-face with a whale shark. From the perspective of a tiny plankton, you’ll explore the ocean in stunning interactive VR, and see why there is an urgent need to protect it.
Drop in the Ocean, a social VR experience, brings audiences to the deepest parts of the Ocean to reveal the secrets to our survival on land.
Far beyond the shore, there is an invisible ocean full of mystery and wonder - crucial to our very existence, yet under extreme threat from changes to our climate and undeniable human impact through microplastics.
The Museum of Imagined Futures
Step into The Museum of Imagined Futures which exhibits predictions for the future and enables visitors to step forward in time to get a glimpse of how humans and technology might live in balance with nature.
