It’s a harsh reality that humanity affects life even at the smallest level: microplastics plague our oceans, harming plankton, a crucial food source for sea life and a critical part of Earth’s ecosystem. To understand the gravity of this situation, Philippe and Ashlan Cousteau, inspired by the legacy of Philippe’s grandfather Jacques Cousteau, made A Drop in the Ocean. Created in partnership with Conservation International and developed with Unity by Vision3, Drop in the Ocean is a 10-minute social VR adventure where audiences hitch a ride on a jellyfish and encounter the mysteries of the deep. Most importantly, participants experience the plastic pollution crisis from the viewpoint of sea life. Join this session to understand how a virtual reality experience can bring awareness of critical issues, such as the huge ecological challenge microplastics brings to the global masses.

Today’s MR and VR headsets deliver really compelling experiences but the cost of the headsets remains a barrier to entry for users and developers alike.
At just $79.99, Zapbox changes everything. Zapbox is a smartphone-powered headset that offers capabilities previously only associated with much more expensive dedicated devices.
Zapbox includes a comfortable headset with an innovative open-peripheral design alongside a pair of custom Bluetooth controllers that offer position and orientation tracking and a wide set of additional inputs. Zapbox can be used for either virtual reality or mixed reality experiences with low-latency color passthrough.
For developers, we provide a Unity XR SDK Provider plugin which makes it straightforward to port content from other headsets. Support for WebXR, OpenXR and PC Streaming is on our roadmap which will allow Zapbox to be used with existing content ecosystems.
Join Zappar co-founder Dr. Simon Taylor for a run-down of the features and benefits of Zapbox and a live demo of the experiences that Zapbox delivers at this unprecedented price point.
Oh, and don’t miss out, 5 lucky attendees will walk away with a free Zapbox from the session!
