This work in progress video short depicts a view from the underwater observatory base on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. The fictional lifeforms shown are a Europan Flame Jelly, and Minos cephalopod, which can be found near the ocean shelf several kilometers below the frozen icy surface. Their ecosystem, combined with unique abilities of movement and communication will be explored further in the VR game "Europa Prime".
This version features a robotic voiceover (non-final) that details the purpose of the virtual reality game - coming soon.
Developed for and with EdGE at TERC, terc.edu/edge, as part of an NSF-funded
project (#2005447) researching and developing a STEM-based VR game for a
broad audience, including neurodivergent players.
This work is part of a collaboration between MXTreality & TERC to broaden participation in informal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning for all, yet with a special focus on neuro-diverse and autistic learners through the magic offered via virtual reality.
NSF Grant: DRL-2005447
