BBC Earth - Factual storytelling with Magic Leap
Description:
BBC Earth – Micro Kingdoms: Senses for Magic Leap is a new mixed-reality experience that offers audiences a chance to interactively explore incredible micro habitats from the natural world. This experience will use the unique capabilities of Magic Leap to bring people face to face with inhabitants, revealing the invisible senses that guide their behaviour and help them survive.
Developed by PRELOADED in collaboration with BBC Studios and their Natural History Unit and funded by the Magic Leap Independent Creator Program, the experience follows last year’s BBC Earth: Life in VR, developed by the same team and winner of the 2018 Google Play Award for “Best VR Experience”. In a panel discussion between PRELOADED, BBC Studios and Magic Leap, the creators behind Micro Kingdoms will share key insights, and lessons learnt, from developing this pioneering factual storytelling experience in mixed reality.
