Life in the Great Barrier Reef
A 360° VR Experience from Rainforest to Reef
Take a deep breath and dive into the living heart of one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.
Life in the Great Barrier Reef is a breathtaking 360° VR journey through the UNESCO World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef. Dive beneath the surface alongside turtles, manta rays, sharks and whales. Witness rare dolphin behaviour, spectacular coral spawning events and vibrant coral ecosystems captured using custom built 8K 360° underwater camera systems developed to bring audiences inside the reef’s underwater world in ways never before possible.
Guided by Traditional Owners, reef stewards and leading scientists, this journey reveals the extraordinary complexity and interconnectedness between land, sea and climate, exploring the ancient Daintree Rainforest and the only place on Earth where two UNESCO World Heritage sites meet.
Discover how coral bleaching, extreme weather events and global pressures are reshaping the ecosystem as the reef’s resilience is tested like never before. Through powerful first-hand insights, world-first footage and unprecedented access to the natural world, witness both the fragility of this extraordinary environment and the critical work underway to help protect and restore it.
