Virtual Reality and climate change communication
This PhD project is investigating how to use immersive Virtual Reality technologies to communicate with the public about climate change.
Project overview
Using a purpose-built VR app which places the user in a dystopian future where rising sea-levels are impacting familiar urban scenes in Melbourne we investigate how immersive VR experiences can provoke discussion and engagement around climate change in the public domain.
