GROUND-BREAKING VIRTUAL AQUARIUM WINS 2022 MARCOM AWARD
This month World Ocean Explorer won a Platinum MarCom Award. The MarCom Awards honor excellence in marketing and communication while recognizing the creativity, hard work, and generosity of industry professionals. W2O is proud to receive this honor and attributes this early success to the creative collaboration with Schmidt Ocean Institute and their belief in the potential of the Explorer virtual aquarium as an important educational resource for ocean literacy.
EXPERIENCE DEEP-SEA SPECIES & ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLORE IN PERSON
In March of 2022, World Ocean Observatory (W2O) and Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) launched DEEP SEA, the first virtual exhibit of World Ocean Explorer, an interactive three-dimensional aquarium and learning environment. In the past year we have done some amazing work in collaboration with SOI to improve the platform and make it more accessible to users worldwide.
EXCITING NEW FEATURES ADDED TO WORLD OCEAN EXPLORER
In 2022, with the support of Schmidt Ocean Institute, we focused resources and energies to enhance the World Ocean Explorer user experience. Explorer's first exhibit, DEEP SEA, now has an updated welcome screen with a new user-interface menu, two new videos are available for users: a tutorial for how to navigate through the exhibit, and the other to welcome users to Explorer with an overview of DEEP SEA, a preview of the Lobby, and an outline of the overall mission and concept.
We strongly recommend using a Chrome web browser for best experience.
EXPLORER VIRTUAL LOBBY COMING JANUARY 2023
Take a brief tour of the new Lobby space in World Ocean Explorer (officially launching in January 2023). The lobby will serve as the entrance to the aquarium, and will have its own displays to introduce visitors to the full catalog of exhibits and resources contained within. Our ambition is to make the ocean accessible through inclusive interaction as wide, deep, and dynamic as the ocean itself. DEEP SEA and all other exhibits will be accessible from a beautiful and interactive virtual lobby space--all at sea level!
