AR/VR Project Highlights

Coral Probiotics Village in VR

In collaboration with the KAUST Marine Microbiomes Lab, KVL built a virtual-reality experience that immerses visitors in the Coral Probiotics Village - a living underwater laboratory on a Red Sea reef a few kilometers from KAUST. Built on a high-resolution 3D reconstruction of the actual reef, the experience lets scientists and the public explore the site, its research stations and the science behind coral probiotics.

Inside the VR experience: the reconstructed reef with interactive information stations.

The same experience running in KVL's CUBES CAVE for group audiences.

• High-resolution 3D reef reconstruction, explorable in VR headsets and the CUBES CAVE
• Built with Unity - deployable to most VR devices
• Showcased at COP28 (Dubai, 2023) and KAUST scientific conferences
