Metahumans Explore! Is Our Earth Thriving?

This game experience is a result of the  work of 5 hard working individuals (4 high school teachers and 1 designer).  The goal is to use Unreal Engine  with the Cesium Plugin (a physically scanned representation of the entire world) to explore our planet and discover if it is thriving or not, and what we can do to save the only planet humans currently inhabit.  The goal of the project is to build a platform to geolocate interactive VR experiences and gamified data related to issues of sustainability.  This platform can be used in education, research, or game environments by teachers, students, developers and researchers from across the globe.

We make heavy use of data from
