Project Details
Description
Immersive Shipwrecks is a transmedia and transdisciplinary research project examining whether virtual and augmented reality can increase ocean literacy among specific audiences. Led by principal researcher Célia Quico of Lusófona University, the project uses virtual reality, 360-degree video, immersive installations and digital media to communicate the historical effects of shipwrecks and the future effects of climate change on European coastal areas. The project is funded through WIRE FilmEU as a Horizon Mission Pilot and contributes to the objectives of the EU Mission “Restore our Ocean and Waters.”
