We are developing an immersive VR experience that raises awareness about the environmental challenges facing the Baltic Sea. The project is based on real, current scientific research and data from marine conservation teams and diving missions.

The experience begins with an interactive, visually rich infographic-style dive. Users are immersed in the underwater world of the Baltic Sea, where they witness its current condition and understand the key ecological threats — including nutrient pollution, oxygen depletion, and the spread of so-called dead zones. Through interactive visuals, sounds, and guided narration, complex processes are made understandable and emotionally tangible.

After this exploration, users engage in a dialogue with an AI-powered guide, driven by a large language model. This AI helps users reflect on how they — in their own personal context — can contribute to protecting the Baltic Sea. The experience is intentionally personalized, offering practical, meaningful suggestions based on each user’s background, profession, or lifestyle.

The goal is to transform passive information into active awareness and empower users to take concrete actions in their real lives. This VR experience combines science, technology, and storytelling to create an impactful learning journey designed for young VR users, museums, exhibitions, and educational spaces.
