Marine Mammals Alive Exhibition

This research explored how virtual reality underwater experiences can promote public appreciation and participation in marine conversation. The viewer is presented with an immersive underwater experience using the Oculus Rift that features 3D computer generated animations. Visitors to the exhibition are asked a series of questions before and after the VR experience. These questions investigated the visitor’s knowledge of marine mammals residing in Malaysian waters and their role in the marine ecosystem, and previous participation and willingness of visitors to participate in marine conservation activities.
