POLLINATOR PARK
Learning ∙ Travel & ExplorationEurope 2050 – Following a cascade of ecological crises, our world has been deprived of healthy ecosystems and wealthy flora. Amidst this dystopian landscape lies a lavish green beacon of hope: Dr. Beatrice Kukac’s Pollinator Park -a futuristic farm, a safe haven for pollinating insects and an eye-opener for its visitors.
Pollinator Park is a crossover between a zoo, theme park, an interactive museum and a crystal ball: fun, educational and emotionally engaging. As a park visitor in 2050, unravel the story of its founder Beatrice Kukac, try your hand at pollination, shop for grocery shopping in a pollinator-deprived world, rediscover nature’s perfection and find out how you can help protect it in the real world.
The European Commission's virtual Pollinator Park was built in collaboration with ‘archiobiotect’ Vincent Callebaut, in his signature eco-futuristic style.
Step into this beautiful virtual reality about the ugly future we face without pollinating insects!

Important and dark reminder
I loved this tour, it was beautiful and the storyline was just enough. I liked the little activities along the way you do and all of the different demonstrations. This was a dark and chilling reminder of the future of our planet and to do our part now to help. Everyone should watch this!
So beautiful
I really enjoyed this.. walking around looking at wild flowers which are my absolute favourite. The important message behind it all is conveyed very well. Easy to digest information which beautiful graphics.
Doesn't Take Advantage of VR
The content is important, but it's just like walking through an exhibit at a science museum. Having the matching pollinator land on a flower you pick up is excellent, but this app needs to be mostly like that, and not like walking through an exhibit (or, rather, crawling through an exhibit - using VR teleportation to advance to the next chapter detracts from experience).

Pollinator Park is an eco-habitat from the year 2050. An imagined place created to illustrate a cautionary message that addresses human impact on our surroundings in a particular environment. Funded by the European Commission this experience's goal is to improve awareness of Earth's dwindling population of insect pollinators, why it's happening and what we can do about it.
Step inside this large architectural virtual creation which feels more like a museum than an agricultural nursery, and walk through a series of atria and rooms as the program reveals its narrative arc. Visitors are presented with a variety of exhibits from windowed and 360-degree surround videos to animated models that you can hold in your hand, and scenes that the program invites you to interact with.
Each scene focuses on a different aspect of the message and the viewer's attention is held by presenting them in many different ways. Diary pages of a naturalist narrator can be picked as a kind of mini-game as you progress through the journey, and is required in order to unlock the doors of the last scene, which rewards visitors with a spectacular interactive diorama.
Pollinator Park is best explored either standing up or seated in a swivel chair. Teleportation style of locomotion is the only way to navigate the halls of this virtual museum and for some reason the designers chose not to include a button that would allow you to rotate your view in place. Engaging the teleport function is harder than it should be, but it doesn't take too much effort to work around this.
Pollinator Park is a pleasant experience with a natural ambiance and sends an important message. The entire experience lasts around 30 minutes, and we recommend it to inquisitive people of all ages.
✅ High quality museum-like tour.
✅ Provides a variety of different experiences.
✅ Gets its message across without being preachy
❌ Clumsy teleportation movement.
Learn about life.
Little changes that we all can make for a better environment!
Pollination is fascinating, the presentation here is pretty good, with plenty of interaction.
Informative, beautiful
