STEP INTO The Changing Ocean — VR Pop-Up Edition

A 13-minute guided journey through the ocean—designed for conferences, museums, and pop-up events.

Dive into the ocean — and come back with a deeper understanding.

The Changing Ocean is an immersive VR journey that transforms marine research into a lived experience.
By letting you see, hear, and feel the ocean’s world, it aims to build ocean literacy, awaken curiosity, and strengthen empathy for the life and systems we all depend on.

Bring the VR pop-up to your event

Why this matters

Ocean Literacy:
Turn complex ocean science into something people can actually grasp — fast.

Empathy & Connection:
When you feel the ocean as a place (not a concept), it changes how you care.

Understanding Through Experience:
Learn with your senses — not just with text and charts.

Curiosity as a Catalyst:
Spark the “wait… I didn’t know that” moment that leads to learning and action.

The Ocean Soundscape:
Make the ocean’s acoustic world tangible — from marine life communication to the growing impact of human-made noise.

What you’ll experience - About the project:

  • A 13 minute guided deep dive into ocean environments

  • Powerful visuals + immersive sound

  • A short format designed for high impact in limited time

    A conversation starter: What are we changing — and what can we protect?

  • Based on the permanent immersive installation at Bergen Aquarium, Norway

  • Developed in collaboration with researchers from the Institute of Marine Research and the University of Bergen

  • “A fantastic and important experience.”

    Luciano Paixão
    Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Brasilia

  • "I have no words. Big emotions, never felt so connected to the sea."

    Vanessa de Magalhães Ferreira
    Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Oceanography, UERJ

  • “You have to see this. Everyone has to see this. And the sound - it’s absolutely incredible.”

    Priscila Lange
    (INPO)

  • “I really liked it. It communicates the message about life under water, and what we humans are doing to the ocean, and how important it is. All the different sounds and effects really supported the experience.”

    Audience reactions

  • “I thought it was really exciting. It looked so real, you could see what was actually happening. And you got a lot of information, like how deep you were and what was in the ocean.”

    Audience reactions

  • “It’s a really important topic. I think it’s great when people create exhibitions about this. The mayor said at the opening that we often think the ocean is endless, that we can take resources and do anything, but there are limits, and we have to behave responsibly.”

    Audience reactions

  • “It makes real what they only teach us about in school.”

    Student

  • “It was like I felt the pressure of water when diving down”
