Sony BBC Earth transforms the festive season into a Metaverse wonderland

In a heartwarming gesture, Sony BBC Earth is unwrapping joy for kids with an exclusive Metaverse experience! This enchanting experience commenced with the channel presenting the less fortunate children with a chance to explore the world beyond their dreams. 

To make the Metaverse universe come alive, Sony BBC Earth collaborated with virtual reality experts and curated two captivating virtual worlds. The channel invited young minds to step into both worlds – the Polar region, dazzling with Aurora lights and surrounded by whimsical beings like penguins, seals, and polar bears, and the tropical rainforest teeming with lush canopies housing exotic creatures such as the Toucan, Cheetah, Crocodile, and Jackal. The experience made the children of the Udaan India Foundation wonder about the boundless possibilities in the AI space. Along with the Metaverse, the students also enjoyed the trivia session and fun games. 

This immersive initiative induced a strong sense of imagination and understanding of nature and its beings, making it a memorable experience for the younger generation. Sony BBC Earth aims to create more such experiences by extending the Metaverse experience to more children in schools and other centres.

"When I stepped into the Polar region, it was like magic. The lights in the sky were twinkling stars, and it felt like I was on a holiday to Antarctica. I am so happy that I got a chance to have a walkthrough in the snow and see the seals and penguins come alive.”
