The goal for this project was to create a VR experience based around raising awareness for a world issue of the artist's choice. The focus for this project was to bring awareness to and share information about the impact of climate change on increasing amounts of wildfires over the past twenty years. In order to do this, I created a 360 panoramic painting of a mountain fire, which I then imported into unity as a skybox. I then built a 3d room in Maya and added information from 5 different articles as UI elements for players to read while in VR. 

Before deciding to narrow my focus and create a piece focused on specifically wildfires, I made this 360 panoramic painting that focuses more broadly on climate change and disasters.
