Future Delta project is an interactive 3D game simulation situated within a recognisable locale and situation: the flood-prone communities of Delta, BC. This interactive virtual environment that acts as a tool for communication between researchers and the public. Combining climate change modeling, socioeconomic scenario analysis and 3D modeling of real places with engaging soundscapes and imagery, we aim to make climate change science and solutions more salient and understandable to people.
The project brings together climate change science and multimedia interaction in the context of emerging methods of visualisation and community engagement. With dramatic multimedia expression and virtual reality, we can perhaps move towards a deeper awareness and sense of urgency, reaching people that climate science often fails to reach, and providing clear choices for feasible actions.
The project comprises a virtual reality game-engine environment where audiovisual representation and science combine to display dynamic 3D visualizations of future local climate change scenarios. Through an integrated design process we are developing an interactive visualization of alternative future climate change scenarios that are focused on the the flooding risks of the Delta municipality. The project builds on a rich history of thinking, experimentation, and production in the area of climate change, but extends it into a new representational framework fostered by the communicative power of interactive multimedia expression within a virtual world design.
