“DreamlandXR is honored to roll out the Metaverse green carpet and welcome our guests from around the world to enjoy the phenomenon that is the #ActNowVR experience, which has the ability to unite the world on a mission to create a more sustainable future,” stated DreamlandXR founder, Christopher Crescitelli.
The #ActNowVR program helps overcome social and travel limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing a creative technology solution that virtually transports participants in real-time to iconic natural and cultural landmarks around the world to share conversations, learn about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), commemorate specific UN International Days, and take individual action on climate change and sustainability.
“As a new era of hybrid live/virtual events is ushered in, we were honored to have the opportunity to project a show highlighting the 17 SDGs live in Dubai during Global Goals Week at Expo in January, followed by a virtual projection show on climate change and sustainability in a ‘digital twin’ of the Al Wasl Dome for live audiences in the Metaverse,” stated Mia Hanak, executive director of Millennium ART.
The virtual launch event on 24 January, coincided with the International Day of Education, with a lens focused on SDG4 – Quality Education. UNESCO Assistant Director-General, Stefania Giannini, stated on Twitter “We’re excited to celebrate #EducationDay in the Metaverse!”
In its new global report on the Futures of Education, UNESCO declared that “transforming the future requires an urgent rebalancing of our relationships with each other, with nature, as well as with technology that permeates our lives, bearing breakthrough opportunities while raising serious concerns for equity, inclusion, and democratic participation.”
It took a team of creative technologists working together from all corners of the globe to bring the #ActNowVR experience to life in MetaDubai, a live event co-produced by Millennium ART, DreamlandXR, and Fresh Wata Studios, hosted in the Metaverse on AltspaceVR, a Microsoft-owned social VR platform, in a virtual world built by Cause + Christi Immersive XR Design, featuring an architectural projection mapping show with content design by Minds Over Matter, and a musical score mixed by Celeste Lear of Boutique Electronique Music, including music from Rena Jones and Emancipator, Mike Raznick, and Carmen Rizzo.
