challenge

Climate change is one of the most immediate and long-term threats to life as we know it, and it deserves our attention as a species, as a specialist, and as a technologist. Although the causes and effects of climate change are understood intellectually, they are difficult to grasp intuitively or emotionally because they seem disconnected from our daily lives and actions. One of the biggest challenges in raising awareness of the impacts of climate change is the difficulty of combating invisible threats.

Additionally, there are communities and communication platforms for those who want to address climate change, but these forums are often not as powerful as immersive solutions for educating people through direct and personal experience.

Experts and entrepreneurs on the subject of climate change are struggling to get people and policy makers to take action. Finally, engineers and other professionals need spatially immersive tools to help them improve and optimize the design and execution of solutions to combat climate change.

A technology that spans virtual, augmented and mixed reality, XR is the ultimate tool for visualizing information and creating empathy through immersive storytelling and spatial experiences.

In recent years, XR has had a positive impact on the world due to its potential to mitigate climate change. By reducing the need for travel, reducing manufacturing and product waste, and reducing the need for real estate space, XR technology is helping many industries combat climate change. However, the XR industry can and should do more.

XR’s strength is in simulating and visualizing the invisible, making climate change issues personal to every individual. It helps people see and feel the impact on their lives, engage with other like-minded citizens, and inspire them to take action. Helping professionals make the most effective decisions in the fight to develop solutions to address climate change.

Fighting climate change is not just a matter of survival. It is also one of the greatest economic opportunities of the coming decades.
