Stage Show: Embracing Digital Immersive Technologies in Science Centers: The Future of Learning

As more institutions invest in digital immersive technologies, a new era of science communication is emerging. Educational content is effortlessly shared, experiences are contactless, businesses see value in these investments, and traditional practices are reimagined. Could immersive digital spaces be the future of science education? What defines an immersive experience, and how can digital installations foster a collective, interactive learning environment?
In this session, explore immersive opportunities like Megaceta, a groundbreaking digital platform offering an interactive dive with whales. Our life-size projections of marine mammals create a spectacular journey, captivating audiences with an entertaining and emotionally engaging experience. Designed to be authentic and ethical, Megaceta delivers breathtaking visuals without animal captivity, fostering a deeper appreciation for ocean conservation. This educational and engaging format can be adapted to various setups: a virtual window into the ocean, a 20-minute immersive show, or a full-scale exhibition. Together, let's explore how these technologies can evoke emotions, foster empathy, and enhance learning.
