A new way to experience stories from the natural world: BBC Studios, PRELOADED and Google teamed up to bring one of the world’s most respected and loved natural history brands to VR in a completely unique real-time experience.
A meticulously researched and crafted experience, it takes the users to the Californian coast, and to an underwater world bursting with life.
Designed for audiences new to VR, the experience adopts PRELOADED’s low threshold design approach, putting great emphasis on ease of use and the overall comfort of the experience. Honed over many months of testing, the Life in VR experience and format has been created to capture the imagination of the BBC’s Natural History content, and build on the passion for VR.
Featuring some of the most popular animals viewers encountered in the Blue Planet II TV series (including a sea otter and sperm whale) users come face to face with some of the planet’s most fascinating sea creatures, experience life at a microscopic scale, and dive into the ocean abyss with giants of the sea.
“The experience truly showcases the unique capabilities of the interactive and immersive format of Daydream to provide a platform for deeper understandings of our world”. Kellee Santagio, Sr. Producer for Daydream Apps
BBC Earth: Life in VR is published by BBC Studios and created by Preloaded in collaboration with BBC Studio’s VR team. It is available now from Google Play as a free downloadable app.
