Virtual Reality (VR) for Low Carbon is an interactive and immersive method that enables anyone to experience causes and effects of climate change in Industrial, Transportation and Energy sector. The visual format, contextual cues, voice over and immersive characteristics of the VR improve the speed of learning, understanding and awareness on the importance of climate change. 4VR for Low Carbon enables visualization of:
- Evidence - Global Temperature Rise, Warming Oceans, Shrinking Ice, Glacial Retreat, Decreased Snow, Sea Level Rise, Declining Arctic Sea Ice, Extreme Events and Ocean Acidification.
- Causes - Greenhouse gasses (GHG's) effect include Water Vapor, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane, Nitrous Oxide, Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Human Activity and Solar Irradiance.
- Effects - Temperature Rise, Changes is Precipitation Patterns and Sea Level Rise.
- Mitigation & Adaptation
- Promotion of circular economy where wastage is reduced, and energy consumption is optimized.
- Greater use of Renewable Energy such as Solar Energy, Wind Energy, hydro Power and Geothermal.
- Energy Efficiency Vehicle (EEV) such as hybrid and Electric Vehicle and efficient public transport using fuel cell. This is highlighted under Transportation VR experience.
- Eliminate deforestation and accelerate replanting.
- Water preservation.
- Sustainable urban development.
