Climate Apocalypse
Simulated climate emergency experience built in virtual reality showing the devestating effects of global warming
Description
This project was made by an interdisciplinary team of four students from my home university in Antwerp. We were tasked to create a VR experience that would put a spotlight on a topic which had negative effects on our society. We chose to highlight climate change and its effects on our world.
Overview
We wanted to create an experience where players would feel the impact of climate change and what kind of natural disasters are appearing as a result.
We started of with some concept thinking and prototype design sessions. Resulting from this came our idea to present a familiar environment to the player, and then sudden pulling them out of their comfort zone by transporting them to a disaster scenario. Initially, we had planned more scenario’s, but we chose quality over quantity and made sure our project could be delivered in a complete state.
Result
To experience the intended effects of the game, you should try the VR experience with the proper equipment. Because this is not feasible to demonstrate, I created a walktrough which is available on YouTube.
The following screenshots show some of the scenes of this walkthrough.

I would like to thank my team members for their collaboration during the conceptual design phases of the project.
