This is a great milestone. When you see a win like this one you know it’s the result of investing time and heart (and heartache) and brainpower. Our most limited human capacity is our attention. This is what it looks like to use it intentionally. Way to go!!
Revolutionizing the Way We Protect Our Oceans Starts With a Shrimp Imagine you’re a peacock mantis shrimp the size of a banana scurrying across a coral reef that towers around you like skyscrapers. Every crevice may hold a potential meal, a rival’s lair, or the perfect spot to raise offspring. More than beautiful;, the reef is everything to you. We protect what we love, and we love what we’ve lived. The #Scubaverse invites a newfound connection between humans and the underwater world by building a sense of wonder, empathy and compassion that will guide us to impactful behavioral change. A groundbreaking experience for everyone from casual gamers to researchers, divers, and educators, The Scubaverse virtual world (Unreal Engine) allows you to immerse yourself and explore marine ecosystems as more than an observer. The time is now to connect for: ???Empathy Through Experience. It’s hard to care about something you’ve never truly felt, but once you have been hunting as a shark pup or hiding from predators as a clownfish the "save the reefs" slogan becomes visceral. [Research shows immersive experiences increase pro-environment behavior by 300%] ???Democratizing Exploration. Divers guiding students through Raja Ampat’s reefs during a lunch break. Educators teaching coral biology by letting kids swim inside polyps. No flights, no gear, no barriers. ???The "Minecraft Effect". Just as pixelated blocks sparked a generation of amateur architects, our quests turn players into unwitting marine biologists. Collecting resources? That’s learning about symbiotic relationships. Building shelters? Understanding coral calcification. We’re Betting on Something Radical: *The 12-year-old defending her virtual anemone home from ocean acidification becomes the policymaker who rejects destructive coastal projects.? *The VR tourist who marvels at bioluminescent plankton will choose sustainable seafood.? What will your story be? ? We’re not replacing real-world diving but creating a billion new ocean advocates. And honestly, the mantis shrimp’s POV alone is worth the trip.??? ? A Huge Shoutout to AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science)????for open-source 3-D reef models let us recreate ecosystems so accurate marine scientists can use our builds for habitat simulations! This isn’t just a game, it’s a living climate lab. ???Join the Beta Wave as we recruit: *Dive instructors to co-create expedition modules *Teachers passionate about STEM through play *Anyone who’s ever said “I wish more people understood… (Drop a????emoji below and I’ll DM details!) #OceanConservation #EdTech #ClimateAction #GamingForGood P.S. Tag someone who needs to experience the Great Blue Hole without the 3-hour boat ride (or that pesky nitrogen narcosis). Let’s make "virtual ecotourism" the 2025 buzzword we actually want.???? https://lnkd.in/eniYtkbV
