At the World Government Summit, Delivered an interactive immersive dome experience for the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. placing visitors at the centre of a decision-based environmental narrative set inside the UAE's mangrove ecosystems. Every choice made on the touchscreen interface dynamically altered the story unfolding inside the dome, making the consequences of environmental decisions viscerally real in a way no presentation, panel, or poster ever could.
The World Government Summit brings together heads of state, ministers, and global policymakers to address the world's most pressing challenges. For the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, the brief was not simply to present information about the UAE's mangrove ecosystems, it was to make visitors genuinely feel the weight of environmental decision-making. The challenge was to move beyond passive communication and create an experience that placed each visitor inside the story, making the consequences of their choices immediate, visible, and emotionally resonant.
The technical challenge was to build a decision-based narrative system that could dynamically alter the immersive dome environment in real time based on visitor input while simultaneously delivering the experience in multiple languages through a headset audio system, ensuring accessibility for the Summit's diverse international audience. The system needed to be reliable, intuitive, and powerful enough to sustain repeated high-quality experiences across the duration of the Summit.
“We didn’t want people to read about what happens to a mangrove when the wrong choice is made. We wanted them to watch it happen, because of a choice they just made themselves.”
Ministry of Climate Change
The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment installation at the World Government Summit demonstrated that immersive technology can be one of the most powerful tools available for environmental communication, transforming abstract data about ecosystems and climate impact into a personal, emotionally resonant experience that visitors carried with them long after leaving the dome. The decision-based narrative format ensured that every visitor left with a direct, visceral understanding of how individual and collective choices shape the health of the UAE's mangrove ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
The multilingual audio system ensured the experience was fully accessible to the World Government Summit's diverse international audience, reinforcing the Ministry's commitment to inclusive, globally relevant climate communication. The project demonstrates capability to deliver technically complex, emotionally powerful immersive experiences for government clients at the highest level of international events.
We design and build immersive experiences that engage, excite and transform audience interaction combining art, engineering, and next-gen technology to bring brands and spaces to life.
