Rising Tides, Climate Change in Morecambe Bay

Rising Tides is an environmental simulation that transports you 30 years into the future: a VR-first experience focused on the coast of Morecambe Bay, using local water-level rise predictions to demonstrate to local students what might happen to their coastline.

LMC came to us with a problem: they felt that the climate change agenda focused too much on the US and African countries. They wanted to change this and show local students that it would happen here in the UK as well. They were working with the TLC grant scheme, and they were able to fund this project and the purchase of a collection of VR headsets and an Igloo.

We produced a four-and-a-half-minute short VR film as a result of the project, which was shown to thousands of local students and teachers in the area. In the Igloo, the project is breathtaking in how real the environment looks and shows the issues of rising water levels and the damage they will cause to all of us.
