Munduruku: Fight to Defend the Heart of the Amazon
Immerse yourself in the lives and struggle of the Munduruku Indigenous People deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Commissioned by Greenpeace UK, Munduruku was shot in the heart of the Amazon rainforest by Alchemy VR and highlights the world of the Munduruku Indigenous People which is currently under threat from planned government construction initiatives. The team spent two weeks living with the Munduruku people, capturing the very essence of tribe life and creating a truly empathic virtual reality experience. Great Barrier Reef Dive BAFTA award winning David Attenborough’s Great Barrier Reef Dive is a fully immersive virtual reality experience produced by Alchemy VR where you dive deep beneath the waves on the Great Barrier Reef, sitting next to your guide, David Attenborough. In a state-of-the-art Triton submersible you dive through a wonderland with over 3000 reef systems forming one of the most important natural resources on Earth. It is an extraordinary opportunity to come face to face with the incredible diversity and abundance of the Great Barrier Reef, and learn how researchers are using certain species of corals to predicting how the reef will react to environmental changes. Alchemy VR’s team worked alongside renowned research institutions from across the world including the Australian Institute of Marine Science, James Cooke University and the University of Queensland to showcase the beautiful diversity on the reef and uncover the incredible research being done to decode it. *VR Exhibits* |
