We’re excited to announce the release of AVATARS – SEED, a new VR learning experience designed to spark curiosity for plant science, genetics, and biological research — especially among young audiences. We produced this experience on behalf of IPK Leibniz-Institut.

In this immersive journey, players wake from cryosleep aboard a research vessel and take on a crucial mission: reconstructing, analyzing, and understanding seeds to ensure the survival of future plant life.

What makes AVATARS – SEED unique:

🔬 Real scientific #data
All seed models featured in the experience are based directly on data and 3D structures from the underlying research project (AVATARS) — ensuring scientific accuracy and authenticity.

🤖 A research-informed #AI companion
Our in-experience AI guide is powered by scientific publications, enabling it to answer questions about plant biology, genetics, and the research context in a meaningful and engaging way.

🎮 Hands-on, interactive #learning
By experimenting with environmental conditions, solving reconstruction challenges, and exploring biological mechanisms, players intuitively understand complex scientific concepts through gameplay.

🎓 A project built for awareness & scientific engagement
AVATARS – SEED is part of a broader effort to make modern plant research accessible, inspiring, and relevant for younger generations.

What we delivered — and what we can build for you
This project showcases our capabilities in:

– immersive science communication
– VR-based educational design
– integration of real research data into interactive environments
– AI-driven knowledge companions grounded in scientific literature
– high-quality storytelling and interaction design

If your organization is exploring VR, AR, or AI-powered learning experiences — whether for education, outreach, training, or research visualization — we’d be excited to collaborate.

AVATARS – SEED is now available free on the #Meta Store for Quest headsets.
👉 We welcome conversations, partnerships, and new projects that bring science and innovation to life.
