Abstract
Partnered with UN Environment, an interactive and immersive virtual reality (VR) experience was produced that takes participants on a journey through the human stomach to raise awareness of microplastics that are unknowingly consumed in our daily lives. The creative practice and research addresses UN Sustainable Development Goal #12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Through novel, exciting and engaging interactive narrative and gameplay mechanics, Water Bodies delivers a serious underlying message to encourage participants to question their use of plastic and to drive towards a positive environmental impact.
