ABSTRACT
Aquasia is the world's first educational metaworld set in a floating city in Asia. It merges creativity, technology, and sustainability, revolutionising learning into an engaging, memorable journey.
Offering an interactive desktop and a passive 360-degree VR experience, Aquasia provides audiences with a new perspective on the challenges and possibilities of living in a world affected by rising sea levels and climate change. Audiences are challenged to rethink modern food, energy, and transport systems, uncovering technological breakthroughs for a future aquatic life on our Blue Planet.
Incorporating Asian culture and innovative technology, underpinned by UN-HABITAT research, Aquasia aims to captivate educators and learners. Our innovative project garnered the attention of Singapore's esteemed ArtScience Museum, which invited us to launch Aquasia in their Curiosity and VR Galleries from 1-30 September 2023
